As long as we live under capitalism, copyright protects small artists, writers, and creators as much as it protects large shitty corporations who weaponize it.

I’d love to be rid of all intellectual property, but we have a lot to fix before that can become reality without punishing people who rely on it.

I’m down with some huge reforms though.

    No, not at all. Do you have any idea of how expensive it is to bring a lawsuit? What you are saying about protecting small artists is pure propaganda. Furthermore, this only matters for commercial artist as copyright is never used in 99.999% of real life cases

    We will never move forward as long as we allow all of our modern culture and technology to be locked up by corporations through imaginary property rights.

    It also costs money to register a copyright. And if it's not registered when the copyright infringement happens, statutory damages don't apply and you need to prove actual damages instead.
