So is your position that all copyright should be eliminated? Or, that censorship is good but only for a limited amount of time? Or...?

I just stated a logical fact.

Understanding the interference rules of ZFC does not enable you to prove the Riemann hypothesis.

Understanding the standard model does not enable you to build a transmutation engine.

Understanding that copyright is censorship does not enable you to come up with a visionary plan what the best political steps are to handle this truth.

But I personally think that it would at least be a small step into the right direction if people would internalize that free speech and copyright are contradictory to each other.

I'm not sure whether this would be a great victory for the cause of free speech or nail in the coffin for copyright reduction.
