The thing about copyright is, like, if you just think about it for a moment, these two situations are completely different:

- Sony releases a game with music it downloaded off SoundCloud without ever contacting the musician
- A high schooler makes a Sonic fan game that reuses music from Sonic Adventure 2

And yet our current conception of copyright insists that these are equivalent and should be handled by the same rules.

Even if you think copyright should exist this form of it is nonsense.
