Well let's just look at how fucked up things were when copyright was first created.
The following things are now considered very fucking wrong and illegal.
Black people were considered 2nd class citizens of which people had zero respect for. To speak their mind would have led to a lot of issues in their life such as false imprisonment, beatings, and possibly death.
Women were considered a 2nd class citizen as well, and most men would have beat them for speaking their mind.
Racial slurs such as nigger, chink, or pretty much anything else was considered alright as long as you were white of course.
We have laws from an era that is extremely fucked up so could it be possible that our current laws on copyright are wrong as well?
What do we know today?
1. All people are equal no matter the race or gender.
2. Racial slurs are not acceptable behavior in today's society.
3. Most importantly we know that we were WRONG to think like we did back then./div>

Re:
Lets see!
1. Mike is the devil.
2. He works for the CIA as a ninja.
3. Techdirt is the Matrix.
That being said can we really trust a CIA ninja devil?
Plus he is the biggest underground supplier of snow coffee./div>
