Show threadNeil Brown4d ago
@jonathankoren I don't understand? Is this a t-shirt that you've got?!
Show threadjonathankorenโ„ข3d ago

@neil think itโ€™s fairly obvious that itโ€™s a commentary on the facile billionaire backed idea that maximal intellectual property laws are anything except transparent rent seeking.

By reading this toot, you agree to a revokable license. Failure to pay 100 USD to Venmo jonathan-koren-1 for a license will result in prosecution resulting in 20 years imprisonment and 250,000 USD fine.
