Comment on Stop Killing Games Legislation Rejected By EU by Stephen T. Stone

A decade or so ago, a movement like Stop Killing Games would’ve been pilloried by pro-copyright lobbyists and such. It would’ve been called “pro-piracy” and villified by trolls who once defended copyright to its most ridiculous extremes. But notice how there’s barely any real argument against SKG right now, and the ones we do get could all be boiled down to “but capitalism”. I wonder if works falling into the public domain again had a dampening effect on pro-copyright extremism or whether [gestures at everything, including AI] made people realize that copyright is the least of our concerns in this world right now. Either way, seeing pro-copyright arguments dry up and disappear after decades of “piracy is killing industries” and “NAPSTER BAD” is hella funny.
