Would be great if the tax write-off would require the work to enter the public domain immediately.

The only theft going on is the ongoing theft from the public domain, due to corruption of copyright law by special interests enabled by law for hire. Your analogy is irrelevant as the marginal cost of operating a park for an extra visitor is not zero.

I will gladly take a position of moral superiority, because copyright has evolved from a very limited monopoly, intended to encourage creativity while balancing public access, into a licence for corporations to seek rent.

So, call it stealing if you like, I will sleep well tonight regardless.

If your business model needs undercover advocates to fake grassroots legitimacy you may have a problem.

If buying is not owning, copying is not stealing. Simple as that.

I'll settle for Satan existing *(for you) if you believe in it.

Yeah I'm referring to medium wave radio I can receive here in Helsinki. I don't expect licenses are granted for dissenting voices even if they exist.

Google translate app (at least in Android) has a Transcribe button after you click the microphone. It works in some languages but not all.

I sometimes listen to Russian radio and run it through Google translate. It's endless pseudo-philosophy that just goes on for hours and hours. Feels like it's a trope in the Russian world.
