@AlisonCreekside i am mostly unreasonably amused by the name "Komm süsser Tod Howard" 🤣.
also capital has no interests, the state's law serves the state, and copyright serves to control the flow of information. initially it wasn't even the authors but the printers. it was a privilege for printers to copy certain works (hence the name), after the centralized mode of censorship became unviable.
