One of the things I'm finding myself most conflicted about lately is that I've always thought copyright was bullshit, and that the pirates are the only hope to keep our human culture free from the corporations owning and enclosing even the very thoughts in our head.
The pirates will preserve the culture, while the coporates would sooner culture dies so they can sell us new things that they can charge rent on.
But then it's also the only weapon we have against these big AI machines slurping up all the ideas ever and then belching out mixups of them to drown out all real thought and human feeling on the web.
The machines are born in such copyright debt that they can't possibly ever repay it, and yet copyright itself is corporate bollocks trying to enclose and commodify human culture implying that ideas could be owned and traded in a market.
I suspect the resolution is that the courts will find, as usual, that whoever has the most money wins. So the corporate machines will be able to read whatever they want, and only the humans will have to pay to read a book.
Which shows indeed, copyright is bullshit, the machines won't even actually be held to it, because it was always just corporate enclosure not actually reward-the-artists fairness.
