Yet more examples of how copyright destroys culture rather than driving it [Updated]

One of the supposed justifications for the intellectual monopoly called copyright is that it drives creativity and culture. In the last few weeks alone we have had multiple demonstrations of why the opposite is true: copyright destroys culture, and not by accident, but wilfully.

          As much as Copyright=Capitalism, yeah.

          Anarchy by definition is:
