Simplify copyright law how? The 10 cent version of copyright law is "don't copy what someone
else created without making sure they're all right with it." That's the part these people are
violating. Most of the complexity is in the rules about what you can use without getting
permission.

Which is utterly false and dangerous to think. It should rather be "don't copy anything unless
you've cleared it with the rights holder." It's usually much easier to get the creators
blessing than the rights holders, and thinking that the creators blessing gives you legal
protection from the rights holder is just dangerous.
