Diese Aussage gilt natürlich nicht nur für Smartphones, sondern für jeden verdammten Gegenstand, jedes Gebäude, und jede Fabrik: Über proprietäre Software, Dienste und KI werden - mit dem Verweis auf das #Urheberrecht, #TRIPS und #WTO - angeblich unabweisbare Ansprüche der "geistigen Eigentümer" formuliert, die uns digital unterjochen, manipulieren, melken und aussaugen (s. Shoshana Zuboff) - und die das digitale Mittelalter eingeläutet haben, in dem wir uns seit 2001/2003 befinden.

What a load of bollocks. The putting *food* production under severe strain argument used by #PHON and anti-environmental river flows to stop flooding of eenvironmental easements is absolute BS. And News outlets are promotong the lie.

Fury at bill increasing environmental water flows over private property

Politicians and landholders vow to fight a controversial new New South Wales law that will allow the inundation of private property from environmental water flows under the Murray-Darling Basin Plan.

Regulation is necessary, but not sufficient. We need a reform of #IPR:

Knowledge that governs us must no longer be allowed to remain secret, must not be allowed to be lost, and must not be monopolizable: In patent law, it is a matter of course that the "secret" becomes public after 18 MONTHS and FREE after 20 years

In 1994, the United States deliberately (mis)placed software under copyright law -> #TRIPS & #WTO, thereby enabling the global monopolies we suffer from today.
