You know what gripes my goat?
When people take public domain materials, clean them up in some non-transformative way, and claim that is sufficient to produce a new copyright (when that kind of work is clearly "Sweat of the brow" work and not "creative work" and is therefore not eligible for copyright protection.)
I don't mind people selling public domain works, or claiming copyright on actual transformations.
But don't CC-BY-NC your restoration as if that's enforceable.
@GluedToTheScreen As long as we rely on #hollywood for our media, we're funneling money to some of the most politically dangerous people that have ever lived.
We gotta take every chance we can to replace hollywood media with our DIY community alternatives.
fuck, this is a blog post or a series of blog posts or a book. I can feel it.
Are we doing #introductions again?
I'm Andrew. I'm a web developer or something. I make stuff. I'm 27.
I used to run a record store with a bunch of great people, and I helped produce and release music and magazines and fiction and comics and speakers and amps and a game console.
Now I live 650 miles north of where I did all that, and I'm trying to do it again.

I talk about mental health, politics, and tech a lot. There's a real potential we'd get along better IRL than online.
