What? Rightsholders aren't going to respond to reality, so in order to let them continue to ignore it we should ramp up enforcement methods, further isolating rightsholders from being forced to deal with it?
How does this make any sense?
- beefhash 8y agoThere's no realistic way to combat the heavy lobbying that's going on around intellectual property questions, copyright in particular. Thus, to make reality and laws match, enforcement must be adjusted instead.
- ycmbntrthrwaway 8y agoYou say you "don't see the problem" because you see no way to fix things. The problem does not cease to be a problem because of that.
- beefhash 8y agoI've made a clarifying edit. Maybe this helps capture what I'm trying to say.

- dnbgfher 8y agoI'm not sure I see the reason reality and laws must be made to match. I don't see that as something that is inherently all that valuable (if at all), and certainly not to the degree that it's worth doing whatever is easiest regardless of costs to make it happen.
