Copyright is totally functional. What you are really saying is you want cheaper sports and the people who don't give you what you want are dicks. It's a mistake a lot of people make.

> Copyright is totally functional.

As just one instance of the copyright system breaking down, the DMCA has seriously stifled artists and led to massive censorship of controversial or critical material by vested interests and malicious actors. There are hundreds or thousands of articles on DMCA notices being used as restraint on legal speech or by people stealing the capitalization of content rather than copyright enforcement mechanism.

"Totally functional."
