> robbing the public of what should be in the public domain

I love your choice of words. These copyright monopolists are robbing and defrauding us of our rights. Literal robber barons.

The social contract was we'd pretend their stuff wasn't trivially copyable so they could make some money and then the works would enter the public domain. They have repeatedly failed to keep up their ends of the bargain while making fortunes off of government enabled monopolies on information. Therefore we should not be obligated to keep honoring their monopolies either.
