I didn’t call you a pirate, I’m sorry I left that impression. I was talking about all the people who want to copy without paying and complain that they can’t. They are the people your whole argument is failing to address. I don’t know what you mean by “tolerable”, but you said explicitly that you’re not okay with any amount of time. That is, as you say, a very extreme position to take, one that assumes copyright doesn’t solve any problem, and despite all our talking I still haven’t yet heard any justification for it, even if you say you would reluctantly concede to leave a small term in place.
