> The only reason that revenue stream is possible Enforcement is not a requirement to possibility. Quite a few people make money with copyleft works. Even so, it is difficult, because strongly enforced copyright, and propaganda have created a culture that tries desperately to require copyright. > Not every instance of copyright usage is automatically detrimental to society. Of course not! But many are: I can't watch Netflix in 1080p using Linux because of DRM. Security research is illegal because of DRM. I can't start a P2P music streaming service like Spotify did, because I don't have the capitol to pay for licenses. Any innovation in this sector must be done by incumbents; who have already found success, and are more content with stability. I can't upload a video with fair use copyrighted content to Youtube, because Google has been bullied to/shows off their "capability" to weed out copyrighted content. That also sets an unfeasible precedent for competitors; who will never have the resources to do anything similar. s/I can't/Practically no one in the world is allowed to/ Something need not be 100% detrimental to be more detrimental than it is worth. Copyright is a clear example of that. It began somewhere near middle ground, but has since drifted extremely to the benefit of media corporations, and the detriment of everyone else.
