Holy shit that image is so fucking based. I'm glad I'm not the only one who realizes how stupid consumerist rhetoric is.

Everyone who thinks art won't get made or engineering won't get done without copyright and patent laws has never paid attention to history.

And people like to forget the artist is the first one screwed out of their work when the corporations get involved.

Engineers and scientists often are too, at least they get a decent salary for it though. (See intermittent windshield wipers, the sticky note, ect)

Its nearly impossible nowadays to create a novel invention and not get it effectively stolen by a big company that already pulled up the ladders. Ask anyone selling on Amazon.
