And yet it moves.
Copyright has been functionally dead for decades now. I can download any book, piece of music or film in history without paying a dime. It's not even that they sell one copy then it goes public, it leaks before they even make their first sale.
And yet people still pay for music, books and films. Those industries are bigger than ever. The rise of filesharing has proven that copyright is an unnecessary evil. People voluntarily pay for good art without having to be locked down with ten flavours of DRM.
