  • Copyright is supressing new art, not protecting existing art
  • This is an ok panel but not nearly as interesting as I’d hoped. Feels a bit like preaching to the choir.

  • Is it copyright that’s rigid or the companies that hold the copyrights? Unfortunately I didn’t get the answer out of the response.
