I’ve found that most people on this site don’t care about copyright in any form, so they’ll just ignore it like everything else
Well, when companies are cutting off people's purchases and wiping works from our cultural history, a little bit of disregard for the law that is complicit with it is pretty much necessary.
Say, it's through copyright violation that we can still play games from Mario Maker 1 even though the servers were shut down. People figured out how to copy it even though they weren't allowed to.
If this is wrong, maybe the law should be fixed to provide a proper path.
