it's precisely the copyrighted aspect i'm interested in using to justify the redirection of the profits toward universal basic income - there's no way to solve the fractional royalties of how much revenue to distribute to individual contributors to the datasets; practically everyone online contributed to the datasets to some degree
Japan has issued guidance that they won't use copyright law to dampen the pace of innovation, they are giving free reign to the innovators to capture any wealth produced as a byproduct of publically available (but copyrighted) data
USA has the strongest intellectual property protections in the world, I hope we can do some good with it (as is I see copyright preventing more art from being made than it incentivizing, and I'd rather abolish it, but not before a basic income is in place so that artists don't have to feel like their creative work is their only asset they have to hold onto and protecy)
- gmerc 3y agoUhm. Look at content owners vs artists right now - look SAG strike and the insane employer proposal. The idea that copyright won’t backfired badly and freeze future generations into paying rent is ludicrous.
- jazzyjackson 3y agoHey just noticed this reply, can you tell me more about the future you see? And any way to avoid it? I agree that things are tending towards no one owning anything, having to pay a subscription to access our own cultural heritage. Should we fight the trend by mere pirating? If we abolish intellectual property altogether, are we just returning to pre-industrial arts, such that only the rich see any enjoyment of art that is made just for them? (actually I don't know how art worked in the past, any pointers would be much appreciated)
