It's comments like this that really highlight the extent of damage copyright has caused. It has conditioned people to think that they can own information once released, and that they can treat it like property. It's a notion that's ridiculous and silly that it gets threatened each time we make a leap in technology (tapes, computers, internet and streaming, and now generative AI).
I wonder how long society will tolerate the nonsensical idea of copyright before it's had enough.
Intellectual property is nonsense and I'm glad it keeps getting exposed.
- __loam 3y agoUntil we have an economy where people don't starve to death from lack of food or die of frostbite from being homeless, we have to figure out ways for people who actually make things to benefit from that work. Copyright is currently protecting people who rely on the product of their labor to make ends meet. Until we have the fairy tale economy you envision where artists can have the work stolen and still live, this is the best we've got. And yeah, wild to think people feel entitled to own their own work thanks to silly things like the entire body of copyright law.
