    Specifically “copyright infringement”; as in you infringed on the right of the owner to dictate how and when their copy is duplicated.

    It sounds necessary but “I’m the only one allowed my idea” is such a problematic concept, especially in the Information Age, it’s amazing how it’s used for some of the most egregiously greedy things.

    The penalties should honestly be almost nothing.

      Copywrite like patents originally was a short period to give the creator time to capitalize on their work. It was meant to drive innovation but not stifle it with monopolization.

      Then it was slowly changed from that to generational ownership and monopoly. Life plus 70 years is fucking stupid.

      And for training AI copyright suddenly does not matter? It’s them who created copyright laws and now it’s them who made them pointless in their greed.
