MODERATORS
This title is actually false under some logical fallacy. It should be "Yet more examples of copyright destroying culture rather than driving it."
On itself, a simple claim (like "copyright destroys culture") cannot be fallacious. It can be only true or false. For a fallacy, you need a reasoning flaw.
Also note that, even if you find a fallacy behind a conclusion, that is not enough grounds to claim that the conclusion is false. A non-fallacious argument with true premises yields a true conclusion, but a fallacious one may yield true or false conclusions.
The issue that you're noticing with the title is not one of logic, but one of implicature due to the aspect of the verb. "X destroys Y" implies that, every time that X happens, Y gets destroyed; while "X [is] destroying Y" implies that this is only happening now.
