copy ≠ theft

Can we please end this delusional demand that property rights can be applied to data? Pretty please? If not now, then when? How much more unfeasible does copyright need to be before we move on? How much more unfeasible can it really get? When are we, as participants in a society, going to simply give up on playing this ridiculous game?

Copyright demands that we all participate in its own failure. That is, all of us but a select few who have already won the game.
