| It fails to protect intellectual property, it fails to prevent piracy, all it does is give big media conglomerates and immature small artists leverage to screw with other people's livelihoods. |

It's a serious issue, mate. People's livelihoods are being threatened by these stupid copyright laws. |

| What if Cartoon Network aired episodes of Spongebob? They would be punished by copyright laws. |

"all it does is give big media conglomerates and immature small artists leverage to screw with other people's livelihoods." I hope that's not copyright because I'm posting it everywhere.

Ok, fine, they shouldn't be able to do THAT.
But copyright law still needs to be severely scaled back. If I had it my way, the only thing that would violate it would be if someone took something they didn't make, and tried to make money off of it with no changes. |

as long as it has no impact on the publication business
It'd be hell if writers had no rights to their own material |
