#196 Copyright is Bad For Art & Artists

from The Opinion Machine??? · host merkley???

Wherein I argue that rather than encouraging and rewarding innovation, copyright punishes & robs growth & innovation from inventors & creators while handing over great power to mob-like protection rackets & gatekeepers.I also suggest that Spotify start charging artists for storage and advertising.I basically take a dump on the whole imaginary concept of “intellectual property”.Some will say I hate my own kind, they aren’t exactly wrong, but this ain’t that.This is reality.No refunds.
