Why should taxpayer-funded creations be copyrighted? They should be in the public domain by default, like in the U.S.

- riffraff 8y agoThe us also has special rules such as the fact you can't show photos or videos of the supreme court sessions. This stuff is just generally odd.
- dogma1138 8y agoWhile I don’t disagree with the notion that this is stupid. I disagree with the equivalence to censorship it’s a stupid old law, not means to silence political opinion they could’ve called each MP a cunt for 30 min and aired it just fine. HBO just didn’t realized it when making this programme, they have had to avoid other similar limitations by using dogs instead of supreme justices due to similar restrictions in the US.
