Society has been conditioned, essentially brainwashed, bt IP holding companies to see piracy as a serious moral failure and a crime against creativity. These companies have created a story through constant propaganda, embedding it in culture, media, and even education. From childhood, we are taught that "stealing” a song or a movie is no different from grabbing a candy bar from a store. Digital copying is treated like physical theft, even though copying a file does not take away the original. This false comparison has been drilled into people’s minds through fear-driven ads, like those you wouldn’t steal a car PSAs that play before DVDs. Guilt is used as a weapon, making people feel like criminals for sharing information, something humanity has done freely for thousands of years before copyright existed. These companies, through endless lobbying, have painted piracy as an attack on artists, while they actually take most of the profits, leaving creators struggling.

Now, let's look at copyright law itself. It directly violates property rights while pretending to protect them. Property rights apply to tangible things: houses, cars, objects we can touch and control. Copyright, howrver, claims ownership over ideas, expressions, and intangible concepts. How can someone “own” a story or a melody? Once shared, it exists in the public's mind. Imposing restrictions on how others use or share it does not protect property; it monopolizes culture. When a book is purchased, it belongs to the buyer, but copyright says that reproduction, even for personal use, is not allowed without navigating legal hurdles or paying again. That’s not true ownership; it’s a rigged system that strips rights from property holders to benefit corporate intermediaries.

As for innovation, copyright law stifles it. Works can be locked up for decades—sometimes over a century—before entering the public domain. Ideas that could be built upon, remixed, or reimagined are held hostage by estates or corporations that contribute nothing new. Imagine all the stories, music, or technology that could have progressed faster if creators weren’t paralyzed by fears of lawsuits or buried under licensing fees. The patent system, closely related to copyright, is even worse—basic concepts can be patented, preventing competitors from improving. This is not protection; it’s a stranglehold on progress, ensuring only the powerful can afford to innovate while smaller players get crushed.

This connects to the rise of a non-productive class often tied to the global elite, think of figures like Epstein, the ultra-wealthy and influential who operate without accountability. IP holders, often not the creators but large corporations or legal entities, sit on vast amounts of intelectual property without doing any work while raking in money. They create nothing and add no value, yet profit by enforcing monopolies. Take Disney, for example: extensions of copyrigjt terms have been lobbied for repeatedly, keeping Mickey Mouse locked up long after the original creator died. These entities are not creating; theyre hoarding and profiting off nostalgia while contributing nothing new. This class, aligned with the global elite who thrive on uncontested power and influence, does not labor or innovate—they simply litigate, using the legal system for financial gain, much like certain high-profile figures have historically exploited systems and people for their benefit.

Lets also address extortion. Copyright law acts as a shakedown. Payment is mandatory for access to culture, often at high prices, because IP holders know they have government support. Streaming services, software licenses, and even academic journals all carry costs for things that could be shared freely at almost no expense in the digital age. Not complying leads to fines or lawsuits, with the full power of the government used to extract wealth. This isnt about fairness or compensating creators; its about control and profit. Culture has turned into a paywall, and for those who can’t afford it, access to shared heritage is blocked. Meanwhile, the money rarely finds its way to actual artists; it enriches executivea, shareholders, and the elite class pulling the strings. Its a scheme, plain and simple, and society has been misled into thinking this is just how things are.
