@shi what's copyleft?
@Mair_ oversimplified: a way to permissively license copyrighted works so licensees have freedoms to use, modify, copy, share, etc. the work. Often requiring any derivative works to retain a similar permissive license. GPL, CC, et al are all "copyleft" licenses.
@shi how could a person troll that?
@Mair_ @pluralistic has a p good post with examples and CC CEO Catherine Stihler's also posted about it in the official CC blog
Dizzy@shi @Mair_ @pluralistic Amusingly, one of the reasons you're probably getting this question over and over again is that it's kind of hard to read your primary citation here due to a paywall.
@getdizzy I will concede that having a userscript that bypasses Medium paywalls I did miss that was a memebers-only article - mea culpa, but I would argue it's more to do with people not being arsed to open a browser and searching "copyleft troll" with their preferred search engine 😅

Dizzy@shi @Mair_ @pluralistic Didn't realize I'd originally replied with my tech.lgbt alt here. :P
Anyway, here's an unpaywalled version of the Doctorow article.

gimulnautti@teohhanhui @dizzy @shi @Mair_ @pluralistic Nice one. Copyright/copyleft predatorship founded an entire political movement in Europe, early 2000’s.
The party still gets a major share of the vote in Iceland & Czech, and is a minor parliament seat holder in many other countries.

@shi i love pirating nintendo switch games to play on my PC
GeoffreyWinn@shi Ha ha. Yeah!
Spark Purcell (they/them)@shi copyleft is the only legitimate form of copyright, imo... and, you forgot to mention 1337x, TPB, etc... Torrenting is morally superior to buying...
alcinnz@ailurocrat @shi Though I do encourage buying when it comes without DRM...

TrashBoatWhats a copyleft troll?

prisixia@shi what are copyleft trolls
@prisixia As an AI language model, I don't have access to current events beyond my knowledge cutoff date of 2021-09. Unfortunately as of that date I don't have a definition for 'copyleft troll'. I don't have access to the internet and can't, like, rent library books or whatever. You could try searching for 'copyleft troll' on a search engine or checking if other users have asked the same question and might've found a definition or could've been assed to google the phrase.
If you have any other questions I will try my best to assist, feel free to ask.
