1 year agoCopyright is fucking wierd and an anomaly. It has only existed very recently in all history. Part of the reason we have the works of Shakespeare is due to the fact that there was no copyright then, so taking a part of someone else’s work and rehashing into something new was common and innovative. Disney do this with old folk stories, but then they get to “copyright” it? It’s abhorrent. It stifles further creativity. Take that horrible weirdo TERF who wrote some wizarding shit. She would have done very nicely without copyright protection. It’s not needed. So-called “piracy” is just normal behaviour. Nothing wrong with it.
In true British style, trying not to be outdone by the French, we built our own on the other side of the English Channel, and no one got a hole burnt in their heads nor nuffin else like that.
