You know the funny thing about copyright law is, I agree it needs to be changed significantly so that people like textbook companies and parmaceutical companies and the like can't just fuck over everyone they want. However, so many of the people arguing for the removal of copyright law are, put bluntly, gigantic self-entitled douchebags who could care less about textbook scams and only want to get rid of copyright so they can pirate vidyagaems for free and not get penalized, and seem hell-bent on arguing that creative people do not deserve any sort of compensation for time and resources spent (cf. that one guy linked who was basically arguing how dare you feel like you deserve to be paid for taking time out of your life to create something)

so, I kind of get left in the position where I don't at all agree with copyright law as it is now, but reading arguments against it make me want to support it more because the people on "my side" seem so utterly deserving of a punch in the dick.
