That's why we should look for good solutions to societal problems, and not fall back on bad "solutions" just because that's what we're used to. I'm not against the idea of copyright existing. But copyright as it exists today is stifling and counterproductive for most creative endeavors. We do live in reality, but I don't believe it is the only possible reality. We're not getting to Star Trek Space Communism™ anytime soon and honestly I like the idea of owning stuff. That doesn't mean that there aren't concrete steps we can and should take right now in the present reality to make things better. And for that to happen we need to get our priorities and philosophies straight. Philosophies which for me include a robust public commons, the inability to own ideas outright, and the ability to take and transform art and culture. Otherwise, we're just falling into the "temporarily embarrassed millionaires" mindset but for art and culture.
