Instead of trying to justify your theft of intellectual property, torrent website, why not call for people to DEMAND copyright reform?

New length of copyright, applied retroactively to all existing content: 50 years or the death of the creator, whichever comes last.

That’s long enough to profit from an idea and short enough that people can eventually make derivatives thereof.

“But what about when it’s a corporation who owns the copyright? Corporations don’t die, after all.”

50 years, then.
