this article almost gets it. it talks about two perspectives on art: that it’s like a private island, to be looked at but not touched; and that it’s a common good, free for anyone to take and use and remix. #copyright only makes sense with the first view, but the second view is just how culture works. culture is endless remixing, and enforcement of copyright is denial of the very nature of art. #CopyrightKillsCulture
