"You just repeat the same stupid lies and piracy-rationalizations about copyright length"
Star Trek's creator is dead, he died during the making of Next Generation before I was born.
That was over 30 years ago.
The only Star Trek that came out after his death that WASN'T thought up by Roddenberry (he left notes all over his attic) was the movie that retconned everything other than Archer out of existence.
Original Star Trek, Next Gen, DS9, Voyager and even Enterprise were originally notes that Roddenberry wrote up.
So, in order to hear new music, you buy EVERYTHING in the genre you like, you don't listen to the radio, you put ear plugs in your ear when you walk into stores...
And when buying a new video game, you don't ever play a demo of it.
Or go to a book store and read a book to see if you'd like it...
And I'm sure you've NEVER loaned a game, book, movie, song, etc to your roommates or friends, right?
If Star Wars happened a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away... But the movies came out in the 1970s and the Yankees have existed for the entirety of the 20th century...
The Entertainment industry isn't paid to think, they're paid to keep culture locked up for all time, anything that threatens that is an anathema to them.
Why...
They might have to compete honestly if copyright didn't exist.

Calm down there, skippy.
Who says that it didn't belong to them?
Who says that they didn't legally purchase it and share with others?
Wouldn't you say that it was theirs then?

Obviously...
If more people get arrested, then there's less competition from amateur sources of entertainment.
After all, they have a hard time competing. If they didn't, they wouldn't ask the government to step in and help them.
