Be a real pity if people had easy access to facts and literature that might stir the imagination.

We don’t want the proletariat to get any ideas…

We really need to strip back copyright protection and limit it to 10-20 years.

5 to 7 honestly. There needs to be more pressure on companies to actually execute on their ideas instead of sitting on them for years

Copyright protects already executed ideas, stripping that protection down to less than a decade would be completely unhelpful.

Not quite. You can't turn movies into books or games, or vice versa, for example. Sometimes such projects get stuck in limbo. Or think about how everyone hated the final season of Game of Thrones. Can't do anything about that in our life times.

We've been overdue for a revolution at least in copyright law for a long time now.

Host it on the tor network.

Host it on web 3.0.

Host it outside the US.

Host it over torrents and i2p.

Yoooo, is this the dog whistle for me to raise the black flag? These publishers are insufferable.

And everything else.

If we are lucky history will forget about us all.
