@GhostOnTheHalfShell sadly that "#freedom" isn't extended to #consumers!

• Which is IMHO bad [not questioning the fact that #WastefulComputing = #bad!] because it means that only rich Media Oligopolies have access to "#justice" and can enforce their rights.
  • And that is even more worse, because that'll only fuck over those #artists and #creatives that don't have the money to legally 'curbstomp' people at the slightest chance.

Not to mention the most brazen #Copyrightmafia Members (#Disney) are openly embracing #AIslop content.

• Completely negating their own claims that they want to 'protect artists and make shure they get their deserved payment'...

The big difference re: #music is that unlike #movies or a series, is that #licensing, even for #commercial use, is relatively straight-forward.

• Worst-case I send an eMail to #GEMA and request a quote, since they are the one-stop licensing option for music.
• That doesn't exist for #movies nor is there a #FRAND-style licening mandate that would provide #consumers with a fair, reasonable and nondiscriminatory access to a licensed copy to keep for a one-time-purchase.
  • Instead the #Copyrightmafia wants to "have their cake and eat it too" by charging huge fees for #BlankMedia whilst criminalizing #Copying directly and indirectly [#DRM circumvention as #felony]!

@xssfox well, #PatentTrolling is common in "#SueHappy" juristictions like the #USA where #settlement (even if the #patent is clearly invalid and wrong) is cheaper, faster and less problematic than standing one's ground.

• And that's not even talking about frivolous litigation solely to exhaust the opponents' finances (see #Thiel v. #Gawker]…https://www.forbes.com/sites/mattdrange/2016/06/21/peter-thiels-war-on-gawker-a-timeline/

@petko YARR HARR FIDDELDIDDYY!"

IMHO should all #copyright mandate #licensing under #FRAND terms.

• If it's not being made available to #license new as one-time-purchase then all copyrights should cease and "#piracy" be fully legal!

@blogdiva generally the #CopyrightMafia is bad - period!

• #Copyright needs to be dialed back to 25 years flat!

We don't allow #Patents to last lifetime + 70 years either...

#BDSUSA #Copywrong

@paulox @standardebooks problem is that #copyright hasn't lapsed everywhere equally.

I.e. in #Germany it's 70 years post-mortem so I'm surprised said site isn't on the #Copyrightmafia's #censorship index aka. #CUIIliste!
