> Copyright doesn't prevent plagiarism; plagiarism can exist without copyright violation and vice versa. Well yeah. Murder laws don't stop people from murdering but that doesn't mean we should do away with the laws since people still get murdered. It's a punishment & massive deterrent. Especially when used in conjunction with the DMCA.
