Abolishing Copyright is more important than ever. #aikillsart #darkart #copyleft
Else, Someone@RachelThornSub
Well it's of course very unfortunate that LLMs are the tool that people ended up getting obsessed over, but this (huge... "large") implementation detail aside, it is a natural instinct for an archivist to seek building a semantic index of "everything that has ever made it into the public discourse"
@b
Протест и сопротивление@eff The intended purpose of copyright was never creativity, but rent extraction.
Now you're surprised that it performs exactly as designed and helps to maximize rent extraction via monopolization.
"Copyright shouldn't encourage monopoly" is like "racism shouldn't encourage hate crimes."

I am once again asking people to learn about the unauthorized edition of The Lord of the Rings and why it failed.
AnnaHot take but I don't think physical media are inherently superior to digital ones. Physical media are better than DRM-restricted digital media
The problem with, e.g., Spotify isn't that it's online or digital. The problem is that it's DRM-restricted and is a subscription service
Digital files can and should be shared far and wide
Whisper of ReasonThe idea of so-called "intellectual property" is broken by design. It helped facilitate everything that is wrong with the modern tech industry: Big Tech oligopoly, software patterns, DRM, vendor locks, etc. Look closely at anything you hate about today's tech, and you'll see that without the so-called "intellectual property" we would never be in this situation.
So here's my personal definition of freedom: copyright can never be fixed, it can only be abolished.
@reset_org @KULeuvenOpenScience You remind me of the moderate left. "Corporations aren't inherently evil, we just need to write better legislation that will steer them in the right direction." Ten years later we find out that "better" legislation is full of loopholes lobbied by the corporations.
Likewise, Big Tech will always use the so-called "intellectual property" to lock their unfair advantage in and the FOSS alternatives out. Do we need better IP laws? No, we need to #AbolishCopyright.
Tarbuck Transom 🌹#Copyright is as dumb as sumptuary laws where it's illegal to wear purple or ruffles etc, but nobody notices because "that's how it is" so they don't think about it.
