was forced into the agreement based on laws i never agreed with. anyway, y'all are talking about ethics not laws so your point is invalid.

Nobody here is discussing laws except as an outline of expectations of the social contract.

  you said this: > you agree to the terms when you license the song. that agreement is a law, no?

        we are not legal professionals. we're a bunch of tech ppl arguing on the internet about the semantics between agreements vs laws. i agree to the copyright because a metaphorical gun is held to my head by law — if i break the copyright agreement then law has power to persecute me. i don't see how that's any different to a layperson. you can split hairs all you want about agreement vs law, i'm not interested in that. there's a reason i didn't go to law school, those sort of debates are boring and annoying. yet here i am...

        No, you agree to copyright because it benefits the society you live in. The law isn't relevant here. The agreement you make is.

        no, you're incorrectly assuming why i agree to copyright, despite me telling you exactly why i agree to copyright: because of the threat of legal action. not to mention that i neither agree nor disagree with your statement that copyright benefits society. this is just a pointless exchange now.
