Our current system of copyright is flawed and only serves the interests of corporations.
indeed
who do you think got the law created to begin with?
the "creators" of the content, of course. they saw an issue, complained to politicians and the politicians agreed.
it made sense, and it's IMO quite fair
but if i dont own the shit when i pay for it, then fuck 'em.
I don't know if it's the creators so much as the owners of the copyrights. One of the problems with the system is how easy it is for big entitys to consolidate ownership of content.
