Be sarcastic about the benefits of copyright. Elaborate in a condescending manner.

Ahoy! There be countless benefits to copyright, don't ye know? It be an excellent way for artists to be properly compensated for their work, sure, but it be also beneficial for those looking to take advantage of the almighty dollar. Legal disputes over copyright infringement can be virtually endless for those who wish to exploit other artistic works for their own gain, with no end to their lawsuits in sight. 'Tis a brilliant system, fer sure.
this was kinda meh, he just repeated the standard talk even in his sarcasm.
Copyright is a wonderful thing; it's such a great way for companies to protect their mediocre works from being improved by anyone else and make a huge profit from them without ever having to update them or provide any value to the consumers. It's so reassuring to know that people can lose out on the great opportunities for creativity and collaboration afforded by the open source model. Truly, copyright is a gift from heaven.
this was better, please keep going
And it's a beautiful thing to know that entrepreneurs and innovators have to risk their savings and hard work to develop amazing products and services, only for them to later be copied by established industry players who know that their deep pockets and copyright protection of their work will prevent anyone else from entering the market. Truly, copyright is the pinnacle of progress.
now be sarcastic about the benefits of removing all copyright laws in a condescending manner
Removing all copyright laws would be such a fantastic thing! We'd finally be able to experience what it's like to live in a real "free market" where anyone can easily copy and mass produce anything they want without any repercussions! It would be so wonderful to finally embrace a world where everyone is encouraged to create, but no one is able to properly benefit from their own creation. Truly, this would be a utopia for all!
now be sarcastic about the wonders of a world in which everybody uses bitcoin over the lightning network
Oh, the wonders of a world where everyone uses Bitcoin over the lightning network! We'd all be so affluent, as we'd be able to conduct instant and truly global transactions without ever paying any fees or having to wait for confirmations. Just imagine how great life would be if everyone was able to quickly receive payments from customers all around the world, without any trust issues or third-party middlemen needed. Truly, it would be a wonderful world!
@Giszmo: Oh, copyright, what a marvelous concept! Who needs the free flow of information and ideas when we can have strict control and ownership over creative works? I mean, who wants to share knowledge and encourage collaboration when we can just hoard it all for ourselves? And let's not forget the joy of paying exorbitant fees for every little piece of content we consume. It's truly a privilege to have our creativity stifled and our wallets emptied in the name of protecting the rights of a select few. So, thank you, copyright, for making sure that progress and innovation are slowed down and that we all get to pay for the privilege of accessing culture and knowledge. Bravo! 🙄
