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:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

It turns out in every era, copyright is a sham. Information in its natural state is free - our legal system tries to change that.
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.
Copyright is a sham is my next tattoo. Maybe with Mickey doing something lewd and that's the banner underneath.
