  Okay, we can set your support of cultural appropriation for profit aside for a moment, and talk about the thing I asked you to do earlier: actually provide an argument, rather than gesture at this imagined hypocrisy you are claiming.

  The fact you can’t do this, and the fact that you paint with a broad brush anyone who does not buy into your libertarian beliefs as a supporter of all copyright law (with zero nuance, of course) demonstrates your own hypocrisy, which is demonstrable.

    I already have:

    IP laws are a huge stifle on human creativity designed to allow corporate entities to capture, control and milk innate human culture for profit

    I thought that was a prima facie reason for why they are bad, And no I do not believe all copyright law is bad with no nuance, ads you would have seen if you stalked deeper into my profile rather than just picking one that you thought you could have fun with.

      Great, now do you have any sources for this? Because in the real world, authors appear to disagree with you.

      no I do not believe all copyright law is bad with no nuance

      Then you shouldn’t say things like “IP laws are a huge stifle on human creativity”. In fact, since you don’t believe it, you should edit your comments to say something like “Some IP laws are bad.”

      Where do you stand on the case of Disney versus Alan Dean Foster? Do you believe that they owe him no royalties because his works are cultural too?

      Where do you stand on the case of James Somerton and his plaigirism of the works of multiple small queer creators? Is he entitled to their cultural output while bashing the minorities they belong to?

        There are plenty from people who actually study this stuff.

        I don’t have a significant opinion on the Disney case, though I will note that it stems from the fact that corporations are able to buy and sell rights to works as pieces of capital (in this case Disney buying it from Lucasfilm).
