Stricter copyright laws might seem tough on big tech, but they just become new tools to enforce monopolies and bully artists. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/01/copyright-kills-competition

Copyright owners increasingly claim more draconian copyright law and policy will fight back against big tech companies. In reality, copyright gives the most powerful companies even more control over creators and competitors. Today’s copyright policy concentrates power among a handful of corporate gatekeepers—at everyone else’s expense. We need a system that supports grassroots innovation and emerging creators by lowering barriers to entry—ultimately offering all of us a wider variety of choices.
