    I’m in between 3 and 4: both copyright and copying are amoral (they are just tools), but copyright as it exists today is obsolete, arguably to the point that it actively hinders the betterment of humankind.

      In ancient Greece, everyone told stories about Achilles and Odysseus and Perseus.

      Now we watch stories about Iron Man and Superman and the Jedi.

      The difference is, back then stories belonged to everyone. Now stories belong to billionaires.
