I don't agree. I stand with @kfogel@kfogel.org (I'm not sure we're federated, but this guy: https://kfogel.org/kfogel) in that I think that I fundamentally believe that information wants to be free. Copyright law was built fundamentally to limit and control the distribution of information for control. Its goal was to privatize censorship.
Copyright as Disney uses it is working exactly as intended.
More on copyright:
Copyright is 300+ years old rooted in people who'd spend their lives working to publish a singular book. You're just... Wrong? I'm not sure what else to tell you. You can make the argument that it's been shaped that way, but you're dismissing so much history and stand to further nothing with your stance.
You don't know what you are talking about do you? Go watch the video.
Copyright was specifically built to protect printers, who demanded a monopoly over publication.
Not the writers or creators of those works, who made nothing from copyright, but the publishing company. It was built to protect a means of distribution.
