I don't think it is just propaganda. Most people (especially non coders) do not understand licensee and copyright, or Open Source and GPL at all. Or don't care anyway. Sure there is some propaganda, especially from big tech companies, who don't want to talk about the issues because they (think) to benefit from the tech. I just think its worse than "just" propaganda, with the previous mentioned issues.
considering all the "no copyright infringement intended!!" you see on entire movies posted on youtube, yeah i don't think 90% of people have the slightest clue how copyright works, it's just magic
Also uploading an entire film or music and then saying its not their work, they just upload it and all credit goes . I'm not sure if those people actually think how this works or if this is just a disclaimer. Even as a disclaimer this is not how they get a license. Most people just don't understand their most basic rights.
