“I just got a copyright claim for *TYPING ON MY KEYBOARD*”
Tangentially related, but I think that the root problem with the current copyright laws is that they are not really defined by a democratic process in each country but rather negotiated via trade deals, effectively eliminating any chance to significantly change them locally without breaking those deals. Such trade deals that restrict what citizens can do in their own country should really be unconstitutional in any democracy.If some countries want strong copyrights they can enforce them for any imports and exports, but he effect of their laws should stop at their border. We have many other laws governing what you can and cannot do that vary significantly between countries and they do no get harmogonized globablly like copyright has been. And no, a global internet really does not change that.
