Again, all of that is irrelevant. I don't like having my online stuff stolen easier. It's either waste all my time worrying about it and fighting it or keep creating and building and making money.
Anyhow, I haven't seen anyone here argue against copyright. The only time it was brought up was to say that 70 years is ridiculous and it is. The law was not written to do what you want it to do, it was changed thanks to the super rich lobbying to keep their stranglehold on certain markets.

List some of these artists that created stuff at home and got huge from it.
I won't argue that copyright laws could use some tweaking. I'm sure there are ways that they could be changed for the better, but most people who sell a lot of music do so because they have a ton of money behind them promoting it. It seems to me that it is a pretty rare occasion that someone self-releases something and gets huge from it.
