Few things make me want to grab a megaphone and scream as much as confidently uninformed calls to abolish copyright. Copyright is MY right. It's YOUR right too. If you try to take our rights away I will bite you!
"But copyright laws only benefit big corporations?" WRONG! You are SO WRONG! Holy shit. The world may seem to revolve around them but it doesn't. YOU are a copyright holder too and they are trying to make you forget that, now more than ever.
What we need is to strengthen the rights of small creators and ordinary people so the big corporations stop stealing from us because they're currently stealing everything we make and try to pass that off as normal. Abolishing the only protections we have would only serve them.
There are a million things in IP/copyright law that need major fixing but you can't smash every flawed system with a hammer and expect good things to magically rise from the wreckage. Some systems need a good smashing out of existence but this one requires a more precise operation.
You can keep on stealing from the rich without making everyone's private family photos free to use or putting artists on the street. I'd like to make a living and to keep ownership of what I make. Please.
