This is a good example of how copyright’s continuing obsession with ownership and control of digital material is warping the entire legal system in the EU. What was supposed to be simply a fair way of rewarding creators has resulted in a monstrous system of routine government surveillance carried out on hundreds of millions of innocent people just in case they copy a digital file.

In Germany only stuff that has a certain level of creativity (Schöpfungshöhe) can be under copyright.
And how is that determined? I found the shit that I took this morning immensely creative.
It needs a certain level of individuality and personality of the creator that sets it apart from other, already existing works of art.
