    It turns out in every era, copyright is a sham. Information in its natural state is free - our legal system tries to change that.

      The laws around copyright are designed to prevent citizens from doing things.

      The laws around human rights are designed to preventing the government from doing things.

      The later expands your agency while the former restricts it.

          Copyright predates corporations. Many corporations need copyright to extract profit. If you’re anti-corporation but pro-copyright, you’re the only with the big ol’ giant hole.

      Copyright is a sham is my next tattoo. Maybe with Mickey doing something lewd and that’s the banner underneath.
