Copyright law
| To regular users just wanting to get stuff for free? Definitely. To creators? The other way around, I guess.
| They should adapt the rules on the internet, the currend law doesnt fit todays age
| >>709623 Maybe but from what I've seen they benefit multinational companies more than the artists who are under them.
| It's completely sane and valid that an artists work should be copyrighted for 85 years after his death. How else is he gonna afford that golden statue of himself next to his gravestone?
| the original law of copyright expiring 35 years or so after made sense. Disney and Nintendo became cancer
| © law is nothing but the stupid approach to apply materialistic property logic on immaterial stuff like ideas - by restricting their natural properties.
>You cannot use this information, because someone else discovered/generated/defined it before you - and had enough money to protect it with stupid laws
And also
>All your personal information belongs now to estate/megacorp monopoly
Treating information, ideas, thoughts and even privacy like material goods is stupid and harmful.

Fun starts if a lifeforms becomes illegal due to it's similarities to others especially if at some point it's not possible anymore to determine if it was coincidence or on purpose (naturally born or a clone)
>Yeah, sorry you have to die, because your DNA violates current copyright law.
| Copyright sucks. If you repeal it, you take away a lot of the ability for any small artist to devote meaningful time to their art. Indie gamedevs profit a lot off of making piracy difficult. If you don't repeal it, big companies abuse it. With movies and TV shows divided between so many services, it's hard to watch them.
Repealing and lessening copyright enforcement, especially for consumers, though, would make companies compete with piracy. Then things might actually get better.
| >>710348 true, there is no reason to pirate if the product is actually good, fairly priced and overall worth the time of the consumer
