      This is a great example of modern Internet “either one thing or what I randomly decide is its opposite is correct”.

      Absolutely modern copyright is broken and unfit for purpose, absolutely the ability to correctly assign authorship is useful, absolutely there is value to exclusive monetization rights for authors, certainly the ability to assign those to corporations is overexploited in the current model.

      All of those things are true at once and I’m pretty sure the unavoidable overhaul of a trillion dollar conglomerate of industrial and cultural dependencies worldwide is not going to end up fitting in a meme.

    The current system certainly is, but something like CC BY-SA seems to me to be fair. You shouldn’t get unlimited exploitation of ideas, stories, etc., but attribution is hardly onerous and seems deserved.

    Copyright is a game we play to provide monetary incentive for making stuff, because making is hard and copying is easy.

    Which means that even if you’re a fan of this game - when there’s no money involved, fuck off.
