"This website" is a diverse bunch of people with diverse goals and policy positions. Please don't make generalizations.

Copyright in its current form is ridiculous, but I support some (much-pared-back) version of copyright that limits rights further, expands fair use, repeals the DMCA, and reduces the copyright term to something on the order of 15-20 years (perhaps with a renewal option as with patents).

I've released a lot of software under the GPL, and the GPL in its current form couldn't exist without copyright.
