Cory recommends a response for Canada to the USA’s promised tariffs: break ranks on oppressive IP laws and build a local right-to-repair economy.
Edit: Corrected link. Sorry about that!
While I think this is a good idea (because copyright is a stupid concept in the digital age), the problem with this proposal is that Europe is also very pro-copyright. Doing something like this would probably piss off Americans, but if it also pisses off your next best ally as well, it’s probably not going to work out.
Copyright isn’t a stupid concept in the digital age, if anything it’s more important than ever but it is grossly out of control and needs to be severely curtailed (along with all other IP law). Copyright needs to go back to what it was originally intended as, a short term monopoly on a creative work. Something like 10 to 20 years. The current 100+ year copyright durations are absolutely ridiculous and never should have been allowed.
