Showing once again the absurdity of copyright laws

Not sure about that case, but yeah copyright laws are also nuts.

I mean I think copyright laws are dumb but this seems a like a bit of an over-dramatic comparison.

Nonsense! Technicalities to skirt the law are very common, just not where copyright is involved. Because copyright is special. Really.

US copyright laws are a joke.

Copyright law is a joke and this is the perfect way to demonstrate that.

Interesting take on the copyright law.

Sigh. Criminal penalties for copyright.

I love how ridiculous our IP laws are.


Copyright infringement is totally fine when you're a massive corporation. These laws only seem to work in one direction.

copyright law says it is.

Just goes to show that copyright laws are incompatible with reality.

It is not copyrights problem that obeying the law might be difficult.

This sort of copyright absurdity warrants flouting the rules as often as is realistically possible. It may be an overreach backed by law, but that makes it no less of an overreach.

Copyright law is flawed.

While copyright laws are ancient and outdated - and probably should be reformed or removed altogether - this lawsuit might be entertaining.

Because copyright law exists.

Ah, violating copyright is not a crime, I see.

Wow, that's actually a very nice law. And yet, despite reading a bunch of threads about copyright, this is the first time I've run into it. I wonder why something like this doesn't get brought up more often.

Copyright laws actually get enforced! Who'd've thunk?
