  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.

The double standards of citizen vs companies when it comes to laws should rightfully called out.

However, am i the only one who hopes they do get away with it.

Intellectual property has always felt disgusting to me. Knowledge is to be used and shared, not exploited to feed ego.

Copyright cannot die quick enough.

This is also how a certain nation where this concept does not exist has become the defacto factory of the world. We have criminalized local competition for the arbitrary exclusivity of those who thought it -and filled in the paper work first.

I'm sure there a more nuanced takes than mine, but I feel like I can support copyright when it's correctly used to protect individuals, but not when it's being abused by corporations and large creators.
