11 months agoTemporary monopolies are the governments reward to encourage new works of art and inventions. The trade off is that it’s temporary. By extending copyrights indefinitely it actually discourages new works to be created because they’re competing with more creations than ever, and nothing can be built as a derivative work. Trademarks, which Disney still owns, are protected basically indefinitely.
On the other hand, I’m a mod for /r/GameCubeHacks and it’s great because I have access to all the piracy links the other mods remove. 🤙
