Anti-copyright is an area of philosophy that has grown in the the last two decades as the possibilites for the sharing of digital material have obviously boomed. 

Pirate and illegal copies of books have always been made but now text, ideas and entire libraries can be copied and distributed at will, and Shia Laboef has got a paper bag on his head.

Wikipedia discusses [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opposition_to_copyright#Economic_arguments economic arguments], as well as [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opposition_to_copyright#Freedom_of_knowledge freedom of knowledge] arguments, and presents contemporary and historic reasons why copyright has never been of net benefit to society and instead serves to enrich a few at the expense of creativity.

<blockquote>Several years ago, when I first put this website together, I dealt with these issues by means of "copylefting" notices and policy statements intended to make my writing freely available through a Creative Commons license. If you want to reprint this stuff under a Creative Commons license, you can still do that, all you want. But I don’t care anymore. It’s not enough to try to kludge the legalities of copy-monopolies from within. So-called "intellectual property" is in fact nothing more than a legally fabricated monopoly, suppressing competition and emulation, constraining creativity, confining culture, science and technology to captive, capitalist-dominated markets, and violently depriving many of the poorest and most marginalized from access to critical resources for education and life-saving medicines. The legal fictions of copyright and patent are despotic attempts to monopolize the human mind; power-psychotic burdens crippling and destroying individual ownership and the progress of grassroots culture and technologies; outrageous constraints on human intelligence and creativity; and a destructive and desperate protectionist scheme for the profit of powerful corporations. This web project is, in spirit and in letter, at war with every aspect of Intellectual Protectionism, in its principles — of monopolizing power, entitlement, social control and economic privilege — and in its operation — through increasingly invasive government policing and legal coercion — and in the disastrous global effects of patent and copyright restrictions.</blockquote>
