    Has any right-wingers angry about the Seuss thing addressed the obvious policy solution (liberalizing copyright)? I know some libertarians have but I'm talking about generic right-wingers. Have I missed something?

        I’ve heard a hilariously bad “copyright should end thirty years after publication” take that I assumed was related to Seuss. Because artists don’t need to eat obvs. :p

        Replying to @Buddy_Dharma @HeerJeet

        The vast majority of things "protected" by copyright aren't created by artists. But if copyright is about feeding artists, perhaps the term should be reduced to life: dead artists don't need to eat.

        Haven't heard anything. Not surprising either since it would weaken the outrage machine with actual policy proposals.

        They don't want to take it away, this is fund-raising gold for them, without having to do any work.

        Their corporate owners are in favor of strong copyrights.

        Capitalism is fine with long copyright as long as corporations can claim it too. And anything else, it just steals because creators can't fight them (see a tonne of graphics and images taken off creator's pages and used by big companies in merch and advertising.)
