> Ownership of "content" is a legal fiction invented to give states more control over creativity.
1. I hate the argument of "legal fiction" because the whole concept of law itself is a "fiction" invented that gives states more control. But I imagine you wouldn't want to live in a "lawless" society, would you?
2. Can you please explain how ownership of content gives states more control over creativity? There are so many way better methods of control a state can do (state-approved media, just banning books, propaganda) that this sounds like a stretch.
3. Alot of mainstream media is underdog rebels beating an Empire, and ownership of content definitely stops the spread of that idea.
