Andreas K@JennieFuchsia But buying and owning things is for the rich, powerful, good people, e.g. Hollywood studios.
Not the peons.
You seem to think that the “one law for all” is more than a funny marketing slogan.
Pēteris Krišjānis@JennieFuchsia they have always been into "let have all them money" since inception, like, forever.
Victoria (Tactical Shitposting Unit)@JennieFuchsia I would totally download Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson
Flit 🦊 🔥@JennieFuchsia If it hurts them, it's morally incorrect and you shouldn't do it.
If it benefits them, of *course* they'll do it, why wouldn't they?
Medea Vanamonde🏳️⚧️ ♀@JennieFuchsia there is an entire Futurama episode about this
Tom Bellin 
@JennieFuchsia "Give us total control over everything so we can... er... make sure that profits are shared equitably amongst all stakeholders. Riiiiiiight."
Shrikant Joshi@JennieFuchsia People who have been sailing the high seas all this while be like...

Jennie: As I dimly understand it, the law permits copyright or patent unless the product is a "natural law". Most mathematics would seem to be products of logic = "natural laws". In my Perspective studies I was solving (inventing) new picture images methods and the question arose -- could I copyright or patent these? New systems of cartography can be copyrighted (or patented). If the theories of Modern Art are correct and Perspective is not a Natural Law of Science -- only a drawing method -- then why could I not patent new methods? The ice gets mighty thin. I finally decided I didn't want to pay for the copyright/patent filing processes, and I especially didn't want to pay legal fees to defend the "ownership". I wanted the ideas to proliferate; and the audience of interest is so tiny, so unprofitable-monetarily, that I didn't want to impede anyone else's fun with my attempt to setup a toll-booth.
