Intellectual property is stupid, but I don't know why you would blame belgium especially here. The whole world signed threaty regarding copyrights.
Are you asking me why I don't want Belgium bereft off international knowledge their physical libraries do not possess?
Yes. Belgium just implements laws here. The law is wrong but it's imposed from the top. Blame the very concept of "intellectual property"
I always have.😊
<3 Belgium is fine. The exact same dynamics happens here as somewhere else. But you'd be very welcome (at least by me ahah)
