One more consequences of the current copyright regime being self-servingly catered to business owners. I don’t have a solution to this without either (a) exposing yourself to ruin or (b) consciously killing your interest in any commercial creative medium.

It's one more consequence of ~~the current~~ copyright ~~regime~~ being self-servingly catered to business owners.

Copyright was invented by Brits and spread worldwide by Americans; if it didn't cater to business owners they wouldn't have done it.

I don't have a solution to this without either (a) exposing yourself to ruin or (b) consciously killing your interest in any commercial creative medium.

Or (c) piracy.

  Or © piracy.
  
  That’s potentially exposing yourself to financial ruin (see: Nintendo)

    Piracy can be pretty safe if you have the first idea what you’re doing.

    If you're really worried, streaming copyrighted content is legal in most of the world, but really the only risk involved is when torrenting (and even then only in certain cases), in which case just use a VPN. In other words, it's not a crime if you never get caught.

    That it’s illegal/a crime in the books to begin with is a problem. Even more so if the punishment is disproportionate to the damages an owner can claim. There’s a reason for that: the current copyright implementation is the closest thing to an infinite money glitch in real life.
