    Eh I’m fine with the illegal harvesting of data. It forces the courts to revisit the question of what copyright really is and hopefully erodes the stranglehold that copyright has on modern society.

    Let the companies fight each other over whether it’s okay to pirate every video on YouTube. I’m waiting.

        Yeah… Nothing to see here, people, go home, work harder, exercise, and don’t forget to eat your vegetables. Of course, family first and god bless you.

      I would agree with you if the same companies challenging copyright (protecting the intellectual and creative work of “normies”) are not also aggressively welding copyright against the same people they are stealing from.

      With the amount of coprorate power tightly integrated with the governmental bodies in the US (and now with Doge dismantling oversight) I fear that whatever comes out of this is humans own nothing, corporations own everything. Death of free independent thought and creativity.

      Everything you do, say and create is instantly marketable, sellable by the major corporations and you get nothing in return.

      The world needs something a lot more drastic then a copyright reform at this point.
