You misunderstand, I do not believe in intellectual property and I think copyright law shouldn’t exist. I do not believe in private ownership of property (note that I am not referring to personal property, private property is for making profit). I understand that copyright law is a necessity in capitalist society but I am not gonna be mad at China for “bullying” the capitalists I already hate. Our owning class is just mad about having actual competition for once in a few decades. These aren’t schoolboys who had their paper stolen by a bully, they are the richest people in the world doing everything in their power to make sure it stays that way.
