Tell that to all scared teenagers posting "No copyright infringement intended" because they made something cool while Sony makes its living. Being exposed to copyright law causes permanent brain damage. Your creativity might never recover. Some people don't want to make a living out of their creations, they just wan't to create stuff without anyone telling them which components they may and may not use.

Being exposed to unfair inhumane laws influences people brains.
