For most of the last thousand years the rich have not been afraid of the poor. There was just this period, one which lasted for about 150 years, the period which Eric Hobsbawm documented so well in his books, in which the rich were absolutely terrified of the poor. That period ended only a few decades ago. What happened?

“but the bank is only made of men.”
“No, you’re wrong there— quite wrong there. The bank is something else than men. It happens that every man in a bank hates what the bank does, and yet the bank does it. The bank is something more than men, I tell you. It’s the monster. Men made it, but they can’t control it.”

Every website that receives content must run it through an intellectual property finger printing service just like the one that YouTube uses to imperfectly tag “pirated” works and which in practice takes down authentic and original user generated content all the time without much in the way of recourse.
This is a classic example of why intellectual property is a bad thing and why it should be scrapped in favour of a system that does not in any way hamper or infringe on the rights of people to make derived works of any cultural product. This is literally how culture works and IP is simply about fencing in the commons.
