Government attorneys hard at work.

Or maybe, hardly working.

Bullsh1t. Any roadmap can be copyrighted.

And ever since the London tube subway maps aren’t to scale.

This really isn’t how copyrights were intended to function.

They were meant to keep people from copying and selling someone else’s hard work. Your writing, your brush strokes, you photograph, it belongs to you because you made it. So if someone goes out and paints the same field and trees that Monet painted, Monet cannot claim that it’s a duplication. The trees don’t belong to the trees, his painting does, and the other man’s painting does not.

But of course, we all know in this modern age of digital copyright acts and all these other farce laws that the whole point of “intellectual property” is to create false scarcity for the sake of distributors NOT FOR THE SAKE OF ARTISTS AND CREATORS

"Government attorneys hard at work.

Attorneys who fail at the courthouse go to work for the government and if they fail there they go into politics (Adam Schiff is an example).
