A song is generated from an idea, so is a skit you create on your phone as a video... A concept about how to decrease gun violence in schools posted from an individual's Twitter account is also an idea, that others may be able to read, but shouldn't take and repost as an idea of their own... The word "idea" is used to encompass everything from a corporate to an individual item posted online... In many ways, the original post is a record of the first time that idea is created, but somehow Twitter shows the most popular instance of a post, and not the original instance of a post on trending timelines... That's kind of contributing to the problem.
- JohnFen 4y agoRight. So is your position that people should be able to have a monopoly on ideas themselves rather than on a particular expression of those ideas? I don't think I can be on board with that. It seems to me that would be the death of art and culture.
- winternett 4y agoNo, just proper credit for their ideas... Most people wouldn't mind letting their ideas be shared across the world, it's that the credit isn't properly attributed in most cases now... That's why manual content watermarks are so popular... It is apps like TikTok that allow content to be stripped of origin info and reposted without any sort of responsibility, not even copyright control needs to be asserted in most cases, it's a matter that sites like Youtube and TikTok do not allow a method of sharing that properly links back to the originating account, they'd rather foster content theft and reposting than create a fair accreditation model.
