The system of """copyright""" or rather printing press licenses is unsustainable when everyone is assumed to have full access to the equivalent of not just a printing press, but also international distribution channels.
The sheer amount of bureaucratic cruft and grift attached to printing press licenses assumes that there are only a handful of government approved publishers, because the system of printing press licenses attached to a smaller handful of publishers was only instituted in the first place to avoid widespread government critique, something that is now being used by corporations in the form of the DMCA.
Now that everyone is assumed to be capable of publishing things and even encouraged to do so by free speech laws, the system of printing press licenses needs to be dismantled and reduced.
Trademarks and patents have similar issues, with the first being completely obsolete and fraudulent, while the second is increasingly sloppy and retarded.
The persecution of piracy is really just the deathrattle of an obsolete publishing industry founded on government monopolies and autocracy, since it doesn't even notably impact sales in a negative way.
