You’re probably right, but saying we should abolish it altogether is insane. There’s a good reason we have these laws.

@Aux@feddit.uk · 2 months ago

There are no good reasons.

@Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee · 2 months ago

Really? Artists getting paid for their work isn’t a good reason?

ArTistS gettiNg paId (after universal gets a 40% cuts because you used the snare sample from Taylor swift ofc)

So what’s the alternative? How else would a professional artist make a living?

@Aux@feddit.uk · 2 months ago

You don’t need a copyright for that. Copyright doesn’t pay anyone anything.

@Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee · 2 months ago

I genuinely feel like I’m talking to a wall here.

@Aux@feddit.uk · 2 months ago

That’s because you don’t understand what copyright legally is.
