This isn’t about empowering copyright, but interpreting the law as it stands. If we held corporations to the same standards as regular people, it would expose how our existing laws don’t fulfill the core goals of copyright. I like Giovan H’s take on this:
“the philosophical doctrine of copyright is actually remarkably sound; the goals work, but the system of power has gone rotten.”
Part of why copyright is so fucked is because there are some who are protected by it, but not bound by it, and others who are bound by it but not protected by it. We won’t see meaningful change to copyright law as long as that continues to be the case
Which is exactly the same thing as empowering copyright.
The philosophical doctrine of copyright is fundamentally flawed because it’s just impractical unless there’s a god like entity to enforce it. What a load of bullcrap my dude.
Yes he would have loved to see us empower copyright as a response to that! /s
