Is the author trying to imply that the copyright laws are not ridiculous? The perpetual 20 year extensions are not ridiculous? Most of the copyright laws are already so ridiculous that people aren't even aware they would work a certain way, because it doesn't make sense to them (referring to the many youtube videos here that are posted with the message that the videos aren't owned by them). I'm not sure yet if copyright needs to be abolished. I do think they are fighting a pointless battle on the Internet, because sharing and copying are fundamental features of the Internet. If you want to remove them, you will break the Internet (if removing them is even possible). Do we really want to break the Internet to protect copyright? But I also think some of the current copyright legislation is ridiculous, and needs to be overhauled, rethought, and adapted for the Internet age. And by adapted I don't mean the Internet becoming adapted to copyright law. I mean the copyright laws becoming adapted to the Internet.
