I support the original copyright laws in the US. Mostly the same as we have now, but you were only automatically given 17 years of copyright protection, plus an additional 17 years if you filed for an extension. Effectively, you got a maximum of 34 years of copyright, not this 100+ years atrocity we have now. Imo, anything beyond that is corporate theft of the public domain.

Also, if you're awful to consumers like Nintendo is, the gloves come off. I believe piracy as a form of protest is morally sound
