@crosbie !copyright law reform is at best a workaround… since © law varies globally, there is no #onesizefitsall solution (beyond abolition) -

NB I am an abolitionist. I was commenting on your "if we must have #copyright, it s/b for short terms". Exempting individuals is far better. -

@crosbie indeed it never occurred to me !copyright *could* be abolished before reading your words. I didn't question copyright 'til recently -

@crosbie I agree exempting private individuals from charges of !copyright infringement would be a good reform as well. -

@crosbie Both term reduction and individual exemption would be good reforms, but could be construed as deckchair rearrangement -

@crosbie these days perpetual copyright denies people access to their own culture, driving many to risk infringement, particularly creators -

People are not driven 'to risk infringing #copyright', but to share & build upon their own culture - instinctively - a natural imperative. -

@crosbie exactly. And the supposed justification for copyright was to support creators to allow them to do just that.
