    Yeah but some companies straight up lied and/or distributed illegally without a license and made millions, which also wasn’t cool or fair to the creator. So “capitalism” isn’t exactly the hero here either.

    Everyone at the top ultimately fought over and profited from the work of a professor at a university who saw nothing. And no one in the Soviet Inion, the US, or any other country sought to make that right.

                This is too much man. I’m sorry. The lengths you’re going to defend this behavior is bonkers. Sure, let’s just discount decades of countless black musicians being absolutely fucked by record labels “because it was in the contract” and every single person along the way was breaking off a piece for themselves at their expense. Yeah, Alan Moore has this one nuanced thing, that totally invalidates the countless creatives who have been and will continue to be fucked by deep-pocketed companies whose mission is to claw every cent possible from creators even though they didn’t make shit.
