    I already have:

    IP laws are a huge stifle on human creativity designed to allow corporate entities to capture, control and milk innate human culture for profit

    I thought that was a prima facie reason for why they are bad, And no I do not believe all copyright law is bad with no nuance, as you would have seen if you stalked deeper into my profile rather than just picking one that you thought you could have fun with.

      IP laws are a huge stifle on human creativity

      Great, now do you have any sources for this? Because in the real world, authors appear to disagree with you.

      “If my work is just going to get stolen, and if some company’s shareholders are going to get the benefit of my labor and skill without compensating me, I see no reason to continue sharing my work with the public – and a lot of other artists will make the same choice.”
      - N.K. Jemisin


      no I do not believe all copyright law is bad with no nuance

      Then you shouldn’t say things like “IP laws are a huge stifle on human creativity”. In fact, since you don’t believe it, you should edit your comments to say something like “Some IP laws are bad.”

      Where do you stand on the case of James Somerton and his plaigirism of the works of multiple small queer creators? Is he entitled to their cultural output while bashing the minorities they belong to?
