I like having the options to sue in a court of law to enforce these rights a lot more than not having rights at all.

    Keep saying that when a big corporation takes your work for theirs and then sues you.

    We have already past the tipping point where content creators are now paying more for their work to be heard then getting paid for their work.

    Corporations are controlling our very culture with the framework that makes you feel like you have rights. There is a major disconnect here.

    The gatekeeping of modern social media plus the data harvesting of LLM is strangling independent ownership, without a doubt.

    It's a shame folks on Lemmy can't see it. But then Reddit is the Ur-example of big business robbing people of their work product.

    The average cost of litigating a federal copyright case from pre-trial through appeals is $278,000. But sure, keep pretending you could play with the big boys.

    With a good case a lot of lawyers would be willing to work pro bono, especially when it's an individual infringed by a corporation who have plenty to take from.

    For example, the script for the movie The Purge was stolen from an individual in 2012, and after 4 years of litigation Universal paid out a massive settlement in 2018 and also ended the series despite its success.

    A lot of lawyers would be willing to work pro bono on a IP case? You have no way to pay for your rights then. Sounds like a system that is going to work well for you.

    Reforming a bad idea does not make it a good idea. Until you can come to terms with just how imbalanced the system is then you probably don't know what is really going on.
