    The greatest trick capitalists ever pulled is convincing creative individuals that copyright and patents exist to serve and protect their interests.

      I think the problem is allowing corporations to own the copyright. We should make it so that only the original creator of something can copyright it for ten years.

        I’d go one further and remove a corporation’s status of personhood.

        An immortal, amoral, artificial entity should never have been granted parity status with people in our society.
