This document discusses the relationship between technology, social norms, and copyright law. It argues that copyright is not inevitable, but based on technological and social conditions. While copyright law was originally intended to encourage creation, empirical evidence shows that financial compensation is not always necessary for creation. The document also discusses how the internet has disrupted traditional business models and communication monopolies. It proposes that copyright law struggles to keep up with technological and social changes, and that normalizing formerly abnormal behaviors online is inevitable. Solutions discussed include expanding the number of jurisdictions and languages that Creative Commons licenses are available in.
