But that's not true, if you didn't have copyright the biggest one would just copy everything and nobody could do anything about it. With copyright you have a way to sue them for ripping you off.

That's not a rhetoric and it's also not even close to what I said or what I actually think. Please don't make things up, it's doing a disservice to yourself.

I'm a musician and I write software, you don't need to preach to me about this. Record sales are indeed dead but there is no chance they'll come back at all without copyright or something like it. Also that doesn't inval

Film funding is not a zero sum game. There are lots of other places to secure funding. I've seen about 20 new indie films already this year. The rest of your comment is unrelated and somewhat unhinged, and appears to be going off into

Please discontinue this style of rhetoric, it's not what this site is for.

No, it means almost none of that. Pretty much nothing you said has anything to do with copyright law. This is why I have a problem with this rhetoric, it very frequently goes off the rails towards something that doesn't help the goal a

So now we're going back to the central point. Before it sounded like you wanted me to "stop producing". Now from this reply, it sounds like you don't actually care if I stop producing, you're just objecting to me ge

This makes no sense. Disney is not stopping you from making your own home movies. You can even put them on YouTube or any of the other alternatives. There's actually lots of good criticisms of Disney, but you didn't mention any of

To be clear here, you're saying that you want all writers, researchers, artists, architects, musicians, composers, filmmakers, actors, podcasters, to just stop doing things? Would it make you happy if I just threw out my painting suppl

There is no political will in the US to change the copyright system. Aside from some technologists, I haven't seen anybody who actually wants that. You will anger basically everyone else in the information business. Writers, researcher

If Linux developers are actually afraid of that, then they should simply switch the license away from the GPL, or dual license it, or do anything else than what they're currently doing.

For a start, the entire series of responses in this article is nonsense, beginning with the very first claim about "Web 3" somehow being a response to twitter changing their API. There's nothing about blockchains that stop co

I don't understand what you're trying to say or what any of that has to do with cryptocurrency. "Digital goods" is a very broad category beyond cryptocurrency. Also I agree with the other comment here, that's not an

Sure, if you care about HFT you probably want the same guarantee to apply to any market maker, not just ones who operate on blockchains. Unless I missed something here.

That sounds good for any kind of HFT platform matching buyers and sellers. I don't see how that is an "insane advancement" or has anything to do with blockchains.

Having multiple oracles doesn't really change the problem, then you're implicitly trusting a group of oracles instead of just one.
