Yeah its almost like if we didn't keep extending copyright protections a bunch of stuff would be in the public domain and any streaming service could offer it without having to deal with licensing.

I mean that's all well and good, but then how would the very deserving shareholders get dividends?

Won't somebody think of the shareholders!?

  1. Take over a failing company
  2. Hold a shareholder meeting
  3. Show the line going down
  4. Turn the chart upside down
  5. Become a hero to the shareholders

maybe if they actually invested some money somewhere they would make some money for once.
