I don't think copyright is inherently immoral. I think it's good to have at least a temporary monopoly on a piece of creative work that you've made. The important word here is temporary. The way it's set up right now, copyright protection lasts too damn long.
Unless it’s a multigenerational collaboration then yeah it should protect the creators relationship to their work in their lifetime, but that “happy birthday to you” nonsense is stifling.

something only a closeted racist would say
people share stories. it's natural and good. copyright is a government enforced monopoly that prohibits sharing. it's immoral.
The gubmint isn't forcing you to only sell your stories. If you want, you can upload your stories on a website for free.
But you don't get to tell people how they should distribute their creation. That's some authoritarian bullshit.
I should be able to share any story I know.
You dont need to sell stories to share them.
But with copyright you don't get to make that decision, the copyright holder does.
I definitely dont. Ive shared a fuckload of stories without ever consulting the copyright holder.
