So that's the only standard by which decisions should be made, whether the foundations of society will crumble? Well, let's see. Will the foundations of society crumble because I set fire to your house? Nope, nothing to worry about there. Will the foundations of society crumble if police are allowed to set up cameras and record anyone in their homes without a warrant? Ehhh, a few people might complain but no crumbling going on here.
Dismissing a concern on the grounds of ridiculous hyperbole is about as rude and ignorant as you can make yourself. How about "will society benefit from wider access to creative works that might otherwise be forgotten?"
If you have an objection or disagree with a concern that's being raised, how about putting some effort into a counterargument with some relevance and at least a shred of understanding of the issues involved?
