That's not even a joke. One of the premises of a copyright is that you defend your intellectual property or lose it. If the system were more equitable then it would defend your copyright.
- eropple 4y agoThis is an inaccurate description of copyright, at least in the United States. Trademarks require active defense to avoid genericization. Copyright may be asserted at the holder's discretion.
- heavyset_go 4y agoYou're thinking of trademarks.
