Wait copyright isn't like a tangible object, the idea is mine mine mine no one can make copies the same way they make their own bookcase that looks exactly like mine. If they want it they must buy it from meeeeeeeeeeeee.
Also copyright is not like a tangible item because no one may ever use it in a way not approved of by meeeeeeeee. Even if you buy it is it not yours, it's never yours, MINE! You may not change the caption on my cartoon. You may not sell your copy since I sold it to you, someone else will have to buy it only from me. You may not show it to your friends, you may not use clips to make an anime music video, you may not even show it to your friends, they have to pay me because it's mine mine mine.
You may not create on your own anything that references what is mine forever. No sequels, no fan art. you may not write a song about my movie. You may not host a round table discussion with Bilbo, Harry Potter, Luke Skywalker and anyone else who had to take the hero's journey moderated by $wise_old_guy. You must never ever write any fanfic even though there's about zero chance it would ever cut into my sales.
I must be able to keep forever anything that could possibly turn me a profit of one penny because if you don't you're a communist and anything that can't turn a profit has no right to exist because copyright only exists to make money for meeeeeeeee. It never could have any other reason that would be absurd. Why would anyone pass a law for any reason but my personal benefit? Who are these the people you speak of? What are you a commie?
I worked hard, you should pay me, you have to pay me, I don't care if you're not interested. I don't care if my price is too high even if you were interested. I deserve money give it to me now.
Fine shut up you're nothing but a thief anyway, people like you are what's wrong with the world. I hope you go to jail forever it's what you deserve. How dare you suggest that what's mine ever be not mine. MINE MINE MINE.
I hope that sums up the case for hypocritical eternal oppressive copyright.
