Which can be hard to do when corporations insist that you fit in a neat little box with a credit card number attached.

Nowadays people ***** and moan for freedom to infringe on other people's right. To waste their time and resources for unnecessary things. Etc.
So people in favor of reforming copyright and opposed to the ACTA are doing what exactly? Who does what you describe?

It's not that you don't like it, it's that you fail to understand it.

I wrote my software and its mine.
Fair enough, copyright says as much.

Don't demand ownership of my whole software system and tell me what to do with it because some insignificant piece of code in it that happens to be GPL'd.
The failure here is yours, and the only person you can be irritated with is yourself. If you know a bit of code is GPL'd, don't copy it.
