These silicon valley fuckers are getting away with what would get a library shut down. Or you and I jailed on a peer to peer network. The only difference is they’re making a way bigger profit to put you out of a job.
Don’t hold dystopian societies to utopian standards. Yes copyright sucks, and if it was gone things might be better. But also if it was gone corpos might just run more wild than they do now.
All use is fair use. Copyright should not exist.
We all have to play by these damn rules.

Copyright was created to solve a real problem back then and definitely has merit.
However, the behemoth modern copyright has morphed into does need to be put to pasture; it no longer protects, but weponized by gatekeepers.
Back when copyright was created, it had a fixed term of 14 years.
I agree with you, but only if everyone is paid a living wage, aka universal basic income.
