IP, like every part of capitalism, has been totally turned against the artists it claimed to protect. If they want it to only be a chain that binds us, we need to break it. They had their chance to make it work for workers, and they squashed it. If we can't buy into the system, we have every reason to oppose it.

On a large scale, this will come in the form of "crime," not revolutionary action. With no social contract binding anyone voluntarily, people will do what they must to serve their own interests. Any criminal activity that weakens the system more than the people must be supported whole heartedly. Smuggling and theft from the wealthy; true Robin Hood marks; are worthy of support. Vengeance from those scarred by the system is more justice than state justice. Revolution isn't what the fat cats need to fear.

Nah I'm in the US.

We name a lot of shit after the people who used to live here, instead of a fucking monarch.

WV used to live near you? Who's that?

If by WV in the US you mean "West Virginia" then have your mind blown for the fact that it's also named after a monarch:

Queen Elizabeth I, The VIRGIN Queen is where we get "Virginia" from
