Summary
As Hegel intimates, it would be anticlimactic if the history of the world was leading to something as sobering as dictatorship. Yet extreme copyright “progression” is depressing – it is failing to reduce subjugation in developing countries, divisive nationalism in middle-income countries, and entertainment imprisonment in developed countries. We need freedom from oppression, prejudice, and overconsumption. Yet legal reform may not come soon.
