For some reasons dmca/drm is never part of political campaigns. I wonder why
- reaperducer 6y agoBecause political campaigns tend to be about the economy and other things of more immediate impact.
- laumars 6y agoThey tend to be about popular topics. Sometimes that overlaps with the categories you’ve described and sometimes it doesn’t.
- chmod775 6y agoBecause neither rights holders nor politicians want people to think about DRM and copyright too much. If those laws/rights actually became campaign issues or were uniformly enforced, the whole thing would quickly collapse. Due to the scale on which people ignore these laws this would result in having to fine/punish/demand damages from at least a third of the (US, or anywhere really) population. Think about how long those laws would survive if you did that.
- mr_toad 6y agoBecause the RIAA donates to both parties?
- tyre 6y agobecause people don't vote based on that. For whom would that be a larger issue than racial discrimination, economic inequality, COVID, gun rights, or abortion access?
- Aerroon 6y agoWouldn't it actually fall under the umbrella of economic inequality?
