    Why are you such a corpo boot licker? What exactly do we gain as a species by allowing companies to hoard IP of creators of which are long since dead?

    Nek minnit you’ll be telling me I can’t put on a play from Shakespeare or recite Beowulf without paying some corporation a fee?

    Seriously?

      No actually I think plays should be free to use for amateurs, and only require licensing for paid performances, since we’re talking reforms.

      Also why are you being an asshole for no reason?
