I disagree with you...not because I disagree with you, but because I just feel like disagreeing with you today. Let's take it into the argument room:)
Now, you say that the lessons of sharing are old, right? Why are there such old lessons of sharing? Because, they were spread and made part of the social fabric of society, before copyright laws were even created.
As far as political philosophies and ism's go...I think it's less relevant to copyright or even general laws themselves. It matters not what actual system or political ism rules over humanity, but rather WHO is in control and in charge of creating the structural systems and laws. Power hungry controllers can implement the same laws under any structure or ism. That's why they love using propaganda as their weapon of choice. It crosses party lines and can be bent into any shape that serves their own self interest, while keeping the general public in the dark about what the true intentions are behind the scenes.
BTW, that is some serious nasal bubbling happening with that child....Great photo.
'It matters not what actual system or political ism rules over humanity, but rather WHO is in control'
That is absolutely right. I'm in Canada. We have an NDP leader provincially who is working everyday to do the best she can for the people. Yet our federal NDP are trollops of the worst sort - the kind that have everyone convinced that they are egalitarian, yet when you look at their legislative voting record they are little different from the fascists.
If we look at UK politics, the Labour party used to be for, well, labor. Now look at them. Same thing in the US. If you look back, the Republicans appeared reasonably well intentioned. More recently the two parties swapped roles. And currently, there's no difference between them - they all are warmongers.
So it's as you say - the party is merely a device to get power, and they will use that power according to the leader elected. Except when you get a maverick who gets in against all odds and a stacked deck - then rolls over with his butt in the air when he finds out he's playing with the big boys (and girls).
So I'm saying...what. It's like quicksand.

Swamp-ish.
Poeple also seem to alway vote on the leas important cliche party's.
for instance:
When there is a lot of unemployment then the ring of the word Labour makes people lean over very easy.
When however small companies go out of business then those people start voting on empty promises of Liberal party's that promore 'free market economy'
Where it would make more sense to vote on more social-mnded parties.
But whatever you vote they always do the opposite of what they promised.
This industrial-system needs an upgrade. It's just all affected with rule-rot

the copyright issue is where thing get messy.
every country has different laws for different situations
movie industry vs music industry
not to speak about the use of music in a movie
music on the radio, or on tv, or in a pub, or 'other media', etc.
then on internet things become very vague, when the author is in Malasia creating content under Malai law. publishing it on a server somewhere in lets say Europe under European law, and being read by someone in Brazil under Brazillian law. And then someone in the USA comes along and forces US law down everyones throat...
This becomes even more messy when a platform is decentralised, where the hosting is scattered across the globe under a plethora of laws that are all up against each other.
this needs a new approach from a humane point of view, as people consume the data from economies with very different dynamics. You then should not think from a capitalist angle but from an ethical angle. Do what is right for everyone. Not simpley do what is conveinient for a Wallet for someone living in 'the west'
And myself living in the west makes me feel silly to NOT take advantage as that rubs my fellow westerners in the wrong way. But ethics is the future of the net.
Since we all need to live on this tiny rock drifting trough space.
I think the question should be something like:
Do we really need to monetize at the cost of others just because old backwards rules pretend we can?

I am taking you to international internets court for stealing my patented copyrighted thoughts, on these talking points. I was going to write a post on this, but now you have stolen it from my future self, denying me a future income which will enslave me and push me into poverty.
