"As revolutionaries, we don't have the right to say that we're tired of explaining. We must never stop explaining. We also know that when the people understand, they cannot but follow us. In any case, we, the people, have no enemies when it comes to peoples. Our only enemies are the imperialist regimes and organizations." Thomas Sankara, 1985

What's your take on digital anti-piracy coalitions? (lemmygrad.ml)

These are the coalitions that shuts down pirate websites and fining businesses that doesn't have a license to broadcast their media that mostly cost in higher prices. The main examples of these are Alliance for Creativity and Entertainment (ACE), Federation Against Copyright Theft (FACT), Content Overseas Distribution Association (CODA), BREIN, Kakao P.CoK and even the Motion Picture Association (MPA) and Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).

As a socialist, how we can win against them? My idea is to make a lot of copylefted media that are licensed under CC licensed or MIT/Apache/GPL for software so we can weaken them.

For software use FOSS wherever you can, and people just not enforcing their copyright. Groups like this act on behalf of copyright holders. You cant just go "Oh thats copyrighted so take it down." you have to be the copyright holder. So if you dont enforce your copyright its functionally open for use.

You fan even selectively use copyright. Like just have people who wanna use it email you for permission first and refuse to allow any big companies to use it but let piracy groups and small orgs use it as much as they want.

Well, I'm making my own media by myself and research for a way to win on it. For example, the recent Nintendo patents for catching animals with balls can be replaced by fishing and add aquariums for display and breeding, building houses and even ponds by yourself because Pokémon is about catching animals and fighting them and you can replace fighting with an opposite idea of keeping, releasing or breeding them.

Edit: all of my media I made are under CC-BY 4.0.

Well if you made it you own the copyright so just dont enforce it. Do you mean like someone else trying to say you copied them?

No, I made myself but I don't want to sue people, which the anti-piracy coalitions really like: attacking normal people by suing.
