This expands the discussion to talking about copyright, the Internet archive, and music…
I also posted this over in the follow up thread…
Private corporations want you to forget that our culture is not just a product to be bought and sold, but informs who we are and how we got here… like much else, letting corporations colonize ALL aspects of our lives will not benefit us, our culture, or our future. This is true across the board. These for-profit corporations DO NOT HAVE OUR WELL-BEING IN MIND. They care about the money they make and that’s all. They are working to extract as much value out of culture as they can. that’s it. Don’t be fooled that corporations will ever do what is beneficial to the public. They will not. Look at what they do, not what they say.
