The argument is these companies are using our ideas created by us humans in this thing called the interenet for free and without attribution and it's problematic.
- visarga 4y agoYou can't own ideas, they got their own life-cycle.
- whimsicalism 4y agoRight, but I do think you can "own" (by which I mean our societally-mediated legal definition of ownership in the anglosphere) specific sequences of text or at least the right to copy them?
- abstrakraft 4y agoI'm not necessarily arguing against you, but "problematic" is too generic a term to be useful. Genocide is "problematic". Having to run to the bathroom every 5 minutes to blow my runny nose is "problematic". What do you actually mean?
- dimitrios1 4y agoResponding to sibling comment: We need some clarification here: are we speaking about just ideas in the abstract sense, or ideas that have been fleshed out i.e "materialized" If the latter, there are many laws that say you can own an idea, provided it exists somewhere.
