but it's just fundamentally incorrect. "the point" of lawsuits like this is not to "destroy the perpetrators", it's to bring them to the bargaining table. the linked article is less than 600 words long but i can guarantee you almost nobody sharing it is reading it, because they wouldn't be able to make claims like this otherwise. here's a pretty important bit of text

wuh oh!!!! doesn't look like they're very destroyed here!!!!! you'll notice how these contracts are about compensating rightsholders, not artists. as will be the case for all of these trojan horse copyright victories you have the temporarily embarrassed vivziepops of the world rooting for.

copyright law is not your friend. copyright law will not save you or anyone else from the continued gutting of the creative sector. copyright law will make sure that the profits that come from this gutting will go to the same titans of industry that the profits from creative labor have already been going to. im begging everyone to stop falling for it over and over again.

And then you actually look onto the research.

Kids do not generally hate learning or school. Quite the opposite. Children tend to enjoy learning and are naturally curious. It is exactly the fact that they are forced into school and into the rigid structure of it that often punishes curiosity but also is hostile towards the differences inherent in people, that kids hate it.

Kids do not naturally hate medical care. While medical care is scary at times, the fear usually comes from medical care scenarios being defined by adults overriding a child's agency, not explaining things to him, and otherwise being abusive, that makes children afraid of medical procedures. Additionally the way a lot of medical procedures go hand in hand with denying a child's reality ("Look, it is not that bad") tends to be traumatizing to children.

There have been studies done in this. If you explain a child - even a toddler - what you do and why, children will generally be a lot more okay with stuff like needles and simple procedures, and will even agree to necessary surgical interventions.

If you create a learning environment that allows more for self-directed learning, and involves less specific testing, most kids actually will enjoy learning.
