Post shower toilet thought: Copyright isn't there to protect the author, it's there to create a multi-billion dollar legal industry.

Maybe he's going to get back in the shower. Hold your judgement until we have more information. Some people just gotta poop a lot

just get a bidet and it becomes irrelevant. you're living in a different millennium if you don't have one. or don't and stay dirty.

Who needs a bidet when you're in the shower?

[-] Rand0mA@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Poops in the shower.

Sometimes emergencies happen...

Some people live places were poop is cleaner than their water 🤷

Expect...no? Like, copyright gets abused a lot, but it's still used for its intended purpose of protecting small time creators and artists all the time.

There's nothing about abuse in the comment you replied to. In fact, the act of "protecting small time creators and artists" goes through the legal system, funding it like the commenter said...

More like the multi-billion dollar legal industry sprung up around poorly-written copyright laws.

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    1. NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    2. Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    3. Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----
