His argument is that copyright is so fundamentally broken, that many younger people today simply assume that dumping it altogether is better than reform.
That's because dumping it altogether is better than reform. People of all ages are figuring that out.
Thank goodness someone figured out how to censor it the American way. This Turkish censorship is so distasteful. Use copyright to censor, like we in the "free" world do!

But without patents, there will be no incentive for human genes to be created in the first place. Nice job, Justice Department - I hope you all enjoy living in a world WITHOUT HUMAN GENES!
I must admit, the corporate licensors gave me a great push towards embracing Free because of their stupid "step deal". What better incentive to encourage Free sharing of the movie, when charging for plastic discs costs me so much money?
Re: Another (IMHO more serious) problem with ShareAlike
Of course CC-BY-SA and CC-BY-NC-SA. One is copyleft, the other has non-commercial restrictions.
There is no point whatsoever to CC-BY-NC-SA. If you want to restrict commercial use, just use CC-BY-NC. The -SA is pointless and misleading in a non-commercial license.
I wish I'd been doing that all along - it would bolster my argument! But the various mis-licensed remix art projects that come to mind are in random places and I haven't kept a list of them. And I've foolishly only been keeping URLs of articles that get the facts mostly right, not all the ones that get them wrong.
What I've not heard definitely stated are the reasons why just gifting your works to the public domain is a problem.
Because there's no way to do that under our current copyright regime. If copyright were opt-in, it would be no problem. There aren't any perfect solutions as long as copyright is automatic, so there will always be disagreements over what kind of licensing is appropriate.
Jeez, I don't want to shame artists who are re-using SSTB! I want to encourage them. They mean well, they just can't wrap their heads around copyleft. Re-releasing under an -NC license is annoying, but it's not driven by malice and does not merit shaming. It's just license confusion.

Great news for patent lawyers!
Everyone who could have innovated and produced can now get a job as a patent lawyer, suing any innovators and producers who are left.
