I fantasize about a native american nation making a legal claim that copyright doesn't apply to them, because their culture is centered on sharing information, and that this philosophy is fundamental to their identity.
Followed, of course, by a file sharing service set up on tribal land.
If they can carve out an exemption for casinos, why not copyright? (I am not a lawyer, and am not interested in hearing about why this could or couldn't be done... I'm just fantasizing)
- surge 11y agoThe reason is only federal law applies on native land, and only state laws govern whether casinos/gambling is legal. So they are exempt from the state law. Federal laws, such as copyright, drugs, etc still apply.
