I hope you people seeing my posts about copyright don't assume I'm a corpo shill. I'm not. I don't give a single shit about corpos. fuck corpos. I wouldn't shed a single tear over Disney burning down. the point I'm making is that it's not unreasonable of artists to want to protect their work and make money off of it for as long as they're alive in a capitalist society. I want people to understand where some artists are coming from when they want to enforce copyright over their work. why they want to make money off of it. why they think abolishing copyright and IP law wouldn't be beneficial for them, and how abolishing or enforcing copyright law is beneficial for corporations and detrimental for smaller creators either way!

if you want to abolish copyright and IP law, you're gonna have to abolish captialism to begin with

#i'd touch upon piracy and lost media and media locked behind in a vault but it's just too much #but i think it's wack that copyright extends to stuff like that #people shouldn't be jailed for pirating a 15+ year old video games or movies that hasn't seen a rerelease for years #and whose most legal method to access is also the most impractical or expensive bc LMFAO scalpers #hazy rambles #god this shit is just so fucking complicated it's too much for a single person to tackle #please please please i'm begging you #go into this understanding there are shitloads of shades of gray #it's never going to be as simple as enforcing or abolishing copyright law #please go into this with a NUANCED MINDSET #if any of you flame me it's an immediate block without warning
