Researchers found that via quantum tunnelling entanglement, each time you download a video from youtube, a number of random artists (not necessarily involved with the media in question) feel an unexplained momentary sharp pain in their back. A similar effect happens when you drunkenly sing the latest pop song - an egregious copyright violation by any measure - in which case several successful artists feel a passing, but deep, existential dread about the quality of their work. Further research into the effect has been postponed due to ethical concerns. The researchers note, however, that shortening copyright terms would drastically reduce its impact.
