    Maybe you can point out where I said what you claimed I said.

    I guess I’ll just reply with your own comment:

    It isn’t about what the charges are it is about what people think. If we redefined the crime of murder as “foo” and charged people the same way it isn’t like murder went away.

    Whatever value copyright was supposed to give us it has failed to do so. Abolish it.

    Maybe you don’t actually know what abolish means?

      that you don’t think anyone should be able to be compensated for their work.

      Point to the comment that I advocated this.

        How is someone going to be compensated for their creative work if anyone can come along and just make copies of it? Copyright prevents people from just making copies of other people’s work. You want to do away with copyright, thus removing that protection and severely hindering the ability of anyone to make money from creative works.
