We have lost much having to wait for meds patents or other useful technologies.
And even in the entertainment industry we have probably lost so many masterpieces that could have been inspired by copyrighted material. Of course, that we will never know.
Patent. Not copyright. What things of scientific value have been blocked or discovered via copyright law. That sounds like nonsense. This is all entertainment and I can't think of a single case where copyright has affected cultural change.
Both are based on the absurd concept of intellectual property. They are the same cancerous thing that is crippling technological and cultural advancement.
Edit: Seeing your comment history in the piracy community, I don't understand why you bother commenting. It's pretty clear that you're a corpo buttlicker. I'm sure there are communities where youd be better received.
