they're using philosophical frameworks older than digital computers; which is ok, and is as should be. up to the point where those ways to understand fail to capture certain qualities of computers and digital technology which break the whole notion of copyright and have been doing it for a few decades now.

but we gotta wait until they all die off, is not like people, specially older people, are willing or possibly able to change how they think
