    No, they need to die.

    If you can’t protect your own ideas, you shouldn’t get to rely on the government to do it for you.

      How are you proposing that people protect their own ideas?

      Say you write a book. You self-publish. A big publisher CTRL-C/CTRL-Vs your book and publishes it themselves with their access to distribution networks and advertising budgets. Now you sell 0 copies of your book while the publishing house makes millions.

      What should you have done differently?

      Copyright laws were invented to protect creative people against publishing monopolies.
