ITT: A hilarious combination of people who have no clue what copyright covers and people who think providing a tool that allows a user to generate potentially copy written material is a violation of the aforementioned.

Google literally does this in every image search, but go off I guess...

Even if this were not covered by copyright. Our copyright system is broken and laws can be changed. Especially if they don't correspond to what the majority sees as moral.

I agree copyright is broken because it is a mechanic of capitalism which has been breaking for a while.

Once we learn to live without the notion that people need to “earn a living” and instead move to a system of “From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs” without the money insensitive the true biggest reward anyone can receive for having an idea is seeing your brilliant idea being used by everyone for the improvement of everyone.

I don't see that happening anytime soon, because it will be very hard to convince literally everyone to be ok with what they need and pass on what they want.

Definitely a valid point. My hope is agnostic aswell, future is everything but predictable.

I do think though that on the current trajectory of the 1% owning 99% of wealth before 2030 will force some kind of change in this matter seoon, for better or worse.
