Copyright and the "male gaze": a feminist critique of copyright law

[Skeptic]

@Avery_Thorn

This article is complete and utter shite.

The sole purpose of Copyright law is to grant the author of a work a monopoly on that work for a given time period in order to exploit it for commercial gain. It is not meant to do anything more, like enable the downtrodden to rise up and overthrow their burgoise masters.

Under the US constitution, this is the sole purpose of copyright, not commercial gain:

To promote the progress of science and useful arts, by securing for limited times to authors and inventors the exclusive right to their respective writings and discoveries.
