> You only get copyright in How about letting people everywhere simply vote on copyright? On copyright duration. On copyright extent. On filesharing. Etc. It is the people whom copyright is primarily enforced against. It is their natural right to share information with their fellow men that is restricted. _They_ should have a final say of how many artificial restrictions they are willing to bear to get more works produced. And maybe they dont care about works at all and value their freedoms most? In the vast majority of copyright discussions, the biggest party is usually being completely ignored, like a flock of sheep. While it is _them_ that will be caged, that will sheared, that will be milked, that will be slaughtered by the resulting policy, they are the only ones having absolutely no baaa and meeh in how much freedom they are willing to trade for how big a benefit. We have only special interests standing around the corrals and deciding "whats best" for the corralled sheep, and unsurprisingly, the decision always end up as total and maximal exploitation of the ones who have no say in it. How the fuck is this "democracy"? Why is copyright constantly and permanently being excluded from "the will of the people" being mapped into law? Why cant we finally stop all the useless discussions on what would be "best" for the sheep and simply let them decide?
