I have always found it interesting... that there are people who regard copyright infringement as a form of flattery.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Certainly the interest in asserting copyright is a justified one.
I know imitation is the highest form of flattery, but stealing one's identity is totally different.
Imitation is obviously a great form of flattery.
I'm not a big believer in our copyright laws; I find them way too restrictive.
A brainy person does not abuse copyright; instead they respect it and uphold it.
Big Tech's nonchalance about copyright violation tramples over people like my wife and me, who strive to make a living in the great tradition of the creative realm.
Now that copyrights can be just about a century long, the inability to know what is protected and what is not protected becomes a huge and obvious burden on the creative process.
If you create something, you don't want someone else to go and profit from it; you have your right to make a living and everything. So I respect copyright. What I don't respect is copyright extremism. And I what I don't respect is a business model that encourages piracy.
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
The problem with copyright enforcement is that when the parameters aren't incredibly well defined, it means big corporations, who have deeper pockets and better lawyers, can bully people.
