Waffle HoundYou Wouldn't Steal...
RandelungWhy is it stealing in the first place!? Humanity is built on sharing, cooperation and community. Especially knowledge only profits from being shared.
I’m not for LLM garbage, I’m against IP.
Because current material conditions require that workers hold a copyright on their productions lest they be denied compensation required for survival under our capitalist system.
You don’t stop paying rent just because housing should be a right.
We all know what the better system should be, but we need to get there.
The biggest problem is that workers generally dont hold those rights, the people they contract with do.
These laws aren’t protecting workers, they’re protecting corporations, they’re protecting capital. Unless that changes, IP laws are so broken there’s no point in honoring them except to avoid punishment.
Its basically better to go around them and support workers directly than to try and give them a pittance through their taskmasters.

Maybe you don’t. They call me Papa Squat for a reason
moondoggieI thought it was because you’re always shitting in the yard
There can be more than one reason
MinnesotaGoddami would be against IP iff society took care of everyone and authors and inventors could write and design and not worry about material needs.
also if they could just get dune buggies whenever they wanted. when society does that, i’ll be in favor of abolishing IP law. until then, IP law provides me with dune buggy money via pathetic royalties from the cds i recorded. i get pennies a year dammit. pennies!

Yes, we all benefit when knowledge is shared. Until gathering that knowledge is cost-free, there’s a compensation requirement for expertise.
And any point in time when corps want to take the knowledge and lock it up to monetize it, we especially need to bring out intellectual property laws to keep our knowledge open and free.
World book, Webster’s dictionary and the Bible are user-pay repositories of very curated knowledge, for instance. If you’re basing your opinion on these as mechanisms for sharing our collective experience, understand they don’t freely share free info – that both freedoms aren’t present.
mercIn case you’re not aware, it’s making fun of the You Wouldn’t Steal a Car ad campaign from the MPAA in 2004.
