How did we get to the point where people in tech are applauding copyright law? Isn't it the one thing we all rallied around years ago and came to an agreement that the current implementation of copyright is bad, not just for code but for everything?

It doesn't matter if it's a book, movie, music, invention, medicinal breakthrough, or some new paradigm in programming: copyright is a racket that gives the original inventor far too much protection for too long and prevents competition, innovation, and improvements in manufacturing processes for way too long. It directly undercuts one of the good parts of capitalism and leaves us with mostly the shitty parts.
