It does show how dystopian Star Trek kinda is tho. Nobody consumes any media composed after around 1900.
Apparently copyright destroyed art and it’s no longer able to be created, except what was already in the public domain starting around 1960’s.

What episode is this from? I’m totally blanking. Something Tom set up on the holodeck?

It’s the episode where Tuvok turns out to be a triple agent for the Maquis, but only because he was brainwashed by a religious extremist.

That all said I do love how in everyone’s free time they’re all growing and relaxing in healthy ways like sports, painting, learning an instrument or putting on a play.

My most hated ST ‘win’. You’re right of course but I’ve tried to forget that ending

Actually, there are several post-1900 copyrighted works mentioned in Star Trek.
Tom likes early 20th century B Sci Fi. Kirk and Spock reference authors who released work after the 60s in IV when discussing colorful metaphors. Hotel Royale is not a good example, but definitely counts.
Truth be told, I think copyright is a double-edged sword. On one hand, businesses have used it to gatekeep, leading to intellectual stagnation, as you seem to imply. However, at the same time, copyright is often the only legal framework defending small artists against those same businesses (I’ll concede not that well, but still.).

Those are all good counterpoints.
