I feel like there&#x27;s a lot to dislike here. &quot;copyright law is notoriously complicated&quot;, yeah, because there&#x27;s a combination of lawyerly careful parsing as if &quot;common sense&quot; everyday language has precise, consistent definitions.<p>We&#x27;re told in many ways that music, especially popular music, and movies, especially popular movies, and prose to a lesser extent, are the obvious, explicit property of corporate entities. Any copying or imitation is immoral theft.<p>Now, corporate entities are doing the copying and imitation, and we&#x27;re told it&#x27;s not copying or imitation at all!<p>If you have it both ways, people correctly suspect that the legalities are such that the few extract money from, and control the many, an unsustainable situation.
