I agree with you on most of your points, but copyright itself isn't the problem. It's the insistence that someone needs to be paid well beyond their lifetime for a work they created that's the problem with copyright.

Good thing no one patented the tin foil hat, you might need one.

Based on what we've all been reading, I'm fairly sure they were never going to be diligent like any responsible website.

Then again, when did it matter whether or not a company was doing something illegal for the government to claim a company did and step in?

Not unless the company is conspiring to have copyrighted material on its website.

...everyone was pissed about all the inaction.
