You can go ahead but the history of the last 200 years suggest reformism doesn't work.

Corporations got their way every time over the last 200 years. There has never been a time where copyright was pared back in the public interest.

In the UK we got format shifting rights for a year or so, that was a minor, temporary paring back!

Until the alternative given is not dump capitalism then reformism is the only option I'll be backing, as the least worst of a sorry bunch.
