@taknamay As for my exact view on what copyright should be: It should exist, but individual copies of say, a program or device should completely belong to the buyer, with the only restriction being replicating it's contents. You're free to modify or use the thing you bought much like you would say, a car, or a table; as long as you don't make copies or attempt to profit from it beyond it's operation. Say, you buy a game creation software: you're free to profit with the things you make with it, as if you had bought a lathe, but you can't make money from selling copies of the software you bought, nor freely distribute it making it monetarily worthless UNLESS the developer doesn't make it accessible where you live.
