Saying VC's love startups that infringe copyright is a bit too crass, maybe even dense. They're shooting themselves in the foot with that kind of argument. I think it makes more sense to say VCs value social media startups a lot more; it would just happen that social media has more cases of reproducing protected media than anything.

Yes, I've come to realize that investors who spend the majority of the time asking me about the legality of my startup really don't have any experience with, or understanding of these types of startups.
