Copyright is a scam anyway so who cares?
Nah, that's like saying capitalism is a scam.
Copyright and capitalism in general is fine. It's when billion dollar corporations use political donations to control regulations
Like, imagine a year after Hangover came out. 20 production companies all released Hangover 2.
Imagine it was a movie by a small Indie studio so a big studio paid off the original actors to be in their knockoff.
Or an animated movie that used the same digital assets.
We need some copyright protection, just not a never ending system
Those are fundamental features of the current system. If you want to suggest a copyright system that does protect smaller creators from bad actors but doesn’t allow the mega-corps to bully and control everyone, then feel free. But until such a system is implemented it see no reason to defend the current one which is actively harmful to the vast majority of creators.
That's the system that was implemented...
It worked fine until corporations realized both parties like money. Which didn't take long.
And I just said the current situation isn't good....
