Comment on Movie industry demands US law requiring ISPs to block piracy websites
sepulcher@lemmy.ca 2 months agoJust cut out the middleman and get rid of copyright and patent laws altogether.
They are not good for society and only useful idiots think otherwise.

No. Copyright laws originally allowed creators to profit of their work for 28 years, which is perfectly fair and reasonable. Corporate lobbying extended copyright to 70 years past the author’s death, which is obviously insane, since creators can’t profit off their work after they die. But just because corporations perverted the law in an attempt to retain IP indefinitely, it doesn’t mean that copyright law itself is bad, and wanting reasonable protection for an authors IP doesn’t make you a useful idiot.
