I live in Japan. I could wave money around begging for a copyright owner to take it, but they refuse to take it and I can’t access the content.

Good counter metaphor. When Audible disappears my book, and I can’t do anything about it, that is theft.

When corporations write the laws, the laws help corporation.

That could be different. Lemmy is not corporate owned.

Lemmy, yes. Mastodon, no. I could make no sense of mastodon and found nothing of interest.
