dan bull - robocopyright (minecraft note block remix) lyrics

[intro]
it’s difficult to picture some enemies
unless we give them an ident-ty
the newest ent-ty we’ve got to fight
is article 13, i call it “robocopyright”

[verse 1]
i’ve been doing music on the net for two flipping decades
even before youtube, on a geocities webpage
and every time i see the regulations get changed
it’s harder for creatives to make it
so yes, i’m enraged
look at my track record
i put a lot of time
into coming up with tracks, records and dropping rhymes
on the fight to democratize copyright
to shine a spotlight on anonymous and occupy
i took a bit of time off to rap about games
but now i’m back and i’m not backing out again
p-ssing out castigations and patting down your claim
no matter how you obfuscate, your rationale’s insane
maybe you’ll get the picture when i smack you out the frame
because i don’t want to see the internet blacking out for shame
but that’s what’s happening now
yet again
a threatening mechanism checking on everything you say

[chorus 1]
all hail robocopyright
our great leader
i’d rather my router wasn’t changed to rate meter
all hail robocopyright
our great leader
all hail robocopyright
our great leader

[verse 2]
mep’s have voted and i don’t like their decision
i’d diagnose it as a nightmare condition
of a quite rare position
where we can’t upload any kind of copyrighted clip
without their permission
now it’s seems pretty good if you just look at the surface
but peep under the hood, the engine isn’t fit for purpose
and if we still don’t trust ai in teslas yet
then pray, why would we let it suppress the net?
and lest we forget sopa and acta
the digital economy act and every tactic
the copyright lobbyists lob at us hobbyists
the obfuscating confidence tricks are pretty obvious
they make it sound like it’s benefiting small creators
to make them all successful ever more for all the ages
but look at labels and the way they’ve always treated artists (not well)
if you can’t see they won’t change, you need new gl-sses
it isn’t about creative control, nah
it’s about controlling creatives for cold cash
they want money for old rope, it’s old hat
it’s an old trope anybody could have told that
we’ve surrounded by constant ip
imagine real life with content id
a conglomerate deciding what your eyes see
when there’s nothing else left they’ll copyright me

[bridge]
why bother with a doctor?
you’ve got a faith healer
acting like a god
but you’re a lay preacher
hey jesus save me ’cause i don’t need a gatekeeper
’til i’m at the heavenly gates and meeting st. peter

[chorus 2]
all hail robocopyright
our great leader
you’re never gonna drain the swamp if you wade deeper
all hail robocopyright
our great leader
all hail robocopyright
our great leader

[verse 3]
do you trust the judgement of an algorithm?
to look at everything you touch and make a sound decision?
to value satire or parody and tell the difference?
or controlled by copyright trolls we know they’re well malicious
it’s already tough enough to make a parody
some of us have given up because of copyright brutality
cash grabbing companies take money for morality
knowing full well they’re falsifying the legality
as if it wasn’t bad enough already with net neutrality
they’ve done it again, it’s the definition of insanity
how can we trust a robot to know what’s permissible
that only sees the content but context’s invisible
it’s risible, derisible, befitting of our ridicule
at least it would if the reality wasn’t so miserable
every single picture you submit will be conditional
article 11’s even restricting what is clickable
it’s vulnerable to abuse commercial and political
like unelected politicians slipping us rohypnol
so if you all care about it make people aware about it
get on the phone get on the web get on the air and shout it

[chorus 3]
all hail robocopyright
our great leader
cutting off the trailers so you can’t see the main feature
all hail robocopyright
our great leader
all hail robocopyright
our great leader

[outro] (x2)
it’s difficult to picture some enemies
unless we give them an ident-ty
the newest ent-ty we’ve got to fight
is article 13, i call it robocopyright
