This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

The laws around copyright are designed to prevent citizens from doing things.

The laws around human rights are designed to preventing the government from doing things.

The later expands your agency while the former restricts it.

Yall left a big ol' giant hole in your simplification about these itty bitty things that have an equally outsized impact on all of our lives :

Corporations.

Copyright predates corporations. Many corporations need copyright to extract profit. If you're anti-corporation but pro-copyright, you're the only with the big ol' giant hole.
