How is disney going to make its money without copyright and patent laws?
How will their movies sell if it's legal for anyone to copy and redistribute them?
How will they make as much money off of merchandise if they have to legally compete with people who don't hold copyrights to their IP?
The only "Lol" here is how proud you people are for being useful idiots. This is why things are the way they are.
Because they have the money to advertise all of the better financed projects they would be allowed to steal.
Wanting copywright to be gone means you intend to steal from others, you aren't robin hood lol
How are they going to make money off of these projects if people can legally copy and redistribute them for free?
You're completely wrong about your assumption, but advertising should be illegal too.
"Wahhhh, he stole my idea!"
You mean copy, not steal. When something is stolen from you, you no longer have it.
The same reasons everyone doesn't already do this via pirating.
Wow you are just a troll, thanks for showing me so I don't waste anymore time with you.
