1. you are confusing the artifice of 'copyright' with the reality of 'creative works', they are NOT the same...
2. human beans create, PERIOD, full stop. copyright has NOTHING to do with 'inspiring' or 'enabling' or 'promoting' creativity (in fact, quite the opposite); it has EVERYTHING to do with rapacious korporations using individual human bean's creativity in order to extort monies...
(could someone run the numbers of korporations' receipts from copyright extortion, vs receipts from the ACTUAL creators, individual artists ? ? ? "korporations" don't create ANYTHING...)
3. *besides* the obvious factors -increased population, korporations cranking out copyrighted-crap like sausages, *everything* automatically being copyrighted, etc- you ignore that people CREATE TONS OF 'STUFF' that is not intended to be a 'commercial' product, formally copyrighted, or otherwise locked up by greedy asswipes...
the quilt my mother and aunt made for me is 10 times more creative than ANYTHING a CEO from Big Media EVER MADE IN THEIR LIVES...
the robe my sister made for me is cooler than any article of clothing EVER made by any MAFIAA exec (if they are capable of ACTUAL creation at all)...
the cards, doodads, deskset, clothes, etc my wife makes for me is 100 times more precious than ANY piece of disney-fied plastic crap which sells zillions...
the wooden bowls, pens, platters, dishes, spoons, ladles, bottle stoppers, etc i make on my lathe are approximately one billion times more creative than ANYONE who 'produces' mainstream movies...
the folk music made by millions of people around the planet, which will NEVER be 'monetized', is more valuable than ALL the CD's on the planet from Big Music...
NONE of these TRUE creations and their creators will EVER be 'monetized' or 'commercialized', but they are just as -if not MORE SO- 'creative' than any million 'creations' of Big Media crap that is copyrighted/trademarked up the bung hole...

i don't think so, i have, um, extensive experience with the gentle herb, and i've never sued anyone...
if anything, its the coke that is infusing the masters of the universe with invulnerable and entitled feelings... plus, when you are coked up, don't you have to do *something*, *anything* ? ? ?
not like it makes you more laid back...
i believe i can legitimately claim that the millionth idiotic 'movie' made by Big Media about secret-agent-assassin-hit-men-vampires who are pushed beyond their limit, and go on a righteous killing spree, is an attempt to incite me to riot against Big Media and kill everyone involved in such crap...
that is the only *logical* explanation i can give for them to perpetuate such crap: they *WANT* me to (righteously) kill them all ! ! !

donut eaters are *NOT* 'to protect and serve' us 99%...
...they are to 'protect and serve' the dictates of the 1%; they ain't *our* cops, they are *theirs*...
that they actually help regular citizens on occasion is just a distraction between head-crackings...
bad cop, no donut story:
the county just opened a new elementary school on the way of my commute (what used to be 25-30 minutes, is now 45-50 minutes due to a hundred yard stretch now being totally clogged up with cars; won't even get into hundreds of SUV's dropping off their precious snowflakes instead of WALKING to school, what a concept ! lazy pukes)...
first day the school opened, i am right behind a lady who gives the cop directing traffic some WELL DESERVED grief, the asshole cop kept on yelling at the lady about 'tell me something i don't know lady!', being a real asshole, and finally tells her to pull over (and presumably tickets her) for voicing her opinion of their shitty job...
here's the thing: in the three weeks the school has been open *EVERY* time the cops are directing traffic, it is a clogged clusterfuck; every time the cops are standing beside the road and we stoopid citizens do our own thing, the traffic flows like water...
ON OUR OWN, we are fair and polite and let cars in and out as it happens 'naturally'; but when the donut eaters get out there, they fuck it up by giving TOTAL priority to the fat lazy parents in the fat SUV's with their fat precious snowflakes going to school...
the thing was, it gave me hope that when the revolution happens, we can sweep aside those incompetent boobs in short order...

while i do agree with your sentiments in general, i can't get behind -so to speak- your call for them to 'lick dirty dog butts'...
my dogs keep their butts quite clean by licking themselves, thank you very much; and i certainly do NOT want some dirty politicians (who *KNOWS* where those filthy mouths have been) licking my dogs' already clean butts...
otherwise, *my* fantasy is that i could projectile vomit over the WHOLE of washingtoon; after all, turnabout is fair play...
PS its only about half the kongresskritters that are millionaires+, surely they 'represent' all us li'l peeps scraping by paycheck-to-paycheck...
surely they do... *cough*cough*
dog damn, how many decades of being a goody-two-shoes did i waste believing gummint LIES ? ? ?
the more perspicacious kampers here realize this, but for the remaining propaganda-victims in the studio audience:
the gummint LIES...
(yes, 'our' (sic) best and brightest, the cream of the crop, the masters of the universe, they are LIARS, if not sociopaths...)
they LIE to our enemies, to our friends, to us citizens, to the 'justice' dept, to the media, to EVERYBODY; they LIE...
they lie for a lot of reasons (none of which are 'good' reasons, and none of which serves the interests of us 99%),
but the main reason is: because they *can* (and NO ONE with power/authority can/does call them out on it in any significant fashion)...
not only that, but the -i'm not kidding here- absolutely CHILDISH manner in which they lie is ASTOUNDING: they will technically parse, deliberately obfuscate, and flat out deny stuff you would not let your two-year old get away with...
...and yet, they do get away with it ! ! !
one tiny example: back in the day when 'our' (sic) kongresskritters *pretended* to have at least *some* form of oversight, j edgar (deep closet) hoover would have his field agents pull all the illegal wiretaps he had going, skip off to kongress and tell them they had zero wiretaps, then go back and have the agents wiretap all over again...
that was called being 'truthful'...
they play word games like this ALL THE TIME; 'your' (sic) gummint is NOT to be trusted...
which is why the wally's, bob's, and below-average joe's ARE tools and fools: they believe WHATEVER bullshit the gummint throws at them... (though they would pretend otherwise)
you are a tool...
(and don't even realize it...)
authoritarians are anathema to the true American Ideal; but they are cheerleaders for the present incarnation of amerika...
