== Ice piracy ==

The fridge and freezer made externally produced ice nearly obsolete. See "[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6HVYHNTDOFs How The Fridge Destroyed One of the World's Largest Monopolies]" by Veritasium, at 18 minutes.

If a freezer was invented in today's political environment, the establishment would have labelled it "ice piracy".

When established authorities (like MPAA, RIAA, Disney, ...) meet competition (like Internet file sharing), they simply ban their competition (DMCA).

... and then, before you know it, copyright law was updated to take the Internet into account.

[Copyright] is a mechanism that by definition smothers true, useful progress -- in a world that advanced technologically so much that it is already possible to freely copy and share information instantly, with zero cost, with anyone anywhere, copyright tries to set up artificial measures to prevent this so as to keep the old ways of allowing only the privileged to copy and publish intellectual works, it is quite literally force sustaining mechanism of Middle Ages.
