Was thinking of this after a conversation I had on a thread about dreams. Someone joked “I was dreaming of the events of The Matrix, then I was woken up by someone worried my dream was infringing the Wachowski’s copyrights”, and it turned into a whole train of thought in my mind, like violating IP law because you stole fire from Zeus which was his intellectual property.

    I actually think this backfires on most of you. Copyright law makes everything public domain after a period of time, Johnny Fires kids will be able to trade for all the first professionals in the world. But Life +70 years after currency is invented, anyone can print cash and trade falls apart and services and materials are the only thing if value. Copyright laws broken :shrug:
