Sick of parasites profiting from works made by people who died half a century ago. Can't they do anything of value with their lives instead? Maybe something that benefits society instead of being a burden on it?

Hey I agree, but its gotta be legal. We need to change copyright law.

Yes and discussing it will help this to happen

[–] Ubermeisters@lemmy.zip 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

discussing it in the proper context will, I agree. defending an obvious breach of well established copyright law is not going to further the discussion however, it will stall it, and give copyright law advocates an easy target to point at when people attempt to logically discuss alternative options for intellectual property protection methods.

How else is this supposed to change when not by challenging the status quo? Or are you suggesting that it is only allowed to do so in a court of law?
