@a0b872c9 copyright cares in principle a lot about preservation—in the U.S., at least, a rich public domain is supposed to be the goal. It's become unmoored from that in practice, of course, but important to keep it centered in policy/political discourse as a primary function of the copyright system!
@1ebd119b well, I would argue that the public domain is not an aspect of copyright, but an escape from it. and the attempts by the copyright industry to make it eternal show that they certainly don't care about it...
@a0b872c9 in practice, I very much agree! Speaking only in an aspirational sense.
