    Fuck Copyright.

    A system for distributing information and rewarding it’s creators should not be one based on scarcity, given that it costs nothing to copy and distribute information.

      It was fine when the limited duration was a reasonable number of years. Anything over 30 years max before being in the public domain is too long.

        Yeah. In a better world where the US court system doesn’t get weaponized and rulings aren’t delayed for years or decades, I would argue 8 to 15 years is the reasonable number, depending on the type of information being copyrighted.
