I honestly wonder about what percentage of the toxicity of society is a result of the awful copyright regime. Certainly another good chunk is a result of the patent system being broken.

- ColdStream 3mo agoIt is odd when you see people freaking out about copyright and patents when they typically have neither of those things personally. They advocate for the intellectual prison. Not the worst thing society has done but it does end up positioning people as being convinced that they must be beholden to corporations wants.

You have at least two comments in this thread lauding the GPL and its effects. So aren't you advocating for the intellectual prison as well?
