This is why I grew up with zero respect for copyrights. I simply ignore them without consequence. Send me a dcma notification, it goes in the garbage. I dont care, copyrights have become so insane it's easier to just disregard them.

The only problem with this position is that it doesn't go any way to improving things. It's a silent protest. This opinion is immediately excluded because it's non-participatory.

It's a conundrum.

I don't have a goal to "improve things" sometimes and in this particular case I just don't care. it really isnt a conundrum and it's not a silent protest, I just ignore the copyright without a thought and continue on with my day.
