    Yeah its almost like if we didn’t keep extending copyright protections a bunch of stuff would be in the public domain and any streaming service could offer it without having to deal with licensing.

      I mean that’s all well and good, but then how would the very deserving shareholders get dividends?

      Won’t somebody think of the shareholders!?

          1. Take over a failing company
          2. Hold a shareholder meeting
          3. Show the line going down
          4. Turn the chart upside down
          5. Become a hero to the shareholders
