Copyright Law has become a cudgel to stop human progress and the free dissemination of ideas.
Intellectual property is a nonsensical concept -- you cannot own an idea in the same way you own property because if someone uses an idea it poses no burden on someone else using an idea.
Executive Order that I'd like to see, -- effective immediately, all federal agents involved in copyright enforcement will be transferred to investigate human trafficking. Copyright infringement for personal use will be exempt from all civil penalties. Aggregators and repositories and trackers, like the Internet Archive, may raise funds to cover operating expenses.
Fuck the RIAA, Fuck the MPAA, and Fuck 'em all for the DMCA
Copying is a basic human right. If these fuckwads had been in charge during the neolithic era, we'd still be arguing about who has the right to use the number three.
