  • It’s not about breaking the law, what I’m saying is that copyright laws (but actually, any law) just plain doesn’t make sense when you try to apply it to the Internet, because the internet is not a national entity, and the nature of its interactions are fundamentally different from anything else that came before it. Because which country’s laws should apply when interacting across continents? If I am in country A, and I’m interacting with you, a resident of country B, on a platform that is owned by a company registered in country C, hosting their servers in country D, who should have authority to regulate this interaction? Simply put, I don’t give a fuck (pardon my french) about what the US Copyright Office has to say about anything, since I’m not a US citizen nor resident.
