I think there’s room for improvement on copyright laws, but that’s a far cry from the outrageous claim that intellectual property isn’t a real thing.
I think there’s room for improvement on copyright laws, but that’s a far cry from the outrageous claim that intellectual property isn’t a real thing.
In most if the modern world, copyright laws give automatic ownership of unique works of art. Legally IP is a real thing.
So if an artist creates a piece of intellectual property, do you not think they should have control over how it’s used? Including who can make profit off of it?
Sorry, I’m not going to read all that, but it seems like you’re upset about the shitty deals made by record labels and other large corporations, not intellectual property rights.
If you take away the ability to own and control your intellectual property, then you won’t be empowered.
Licensing art allows creators to earn a living off of their hard work.
If you save the cheerleader then the creepy serial killer will join the team.
I don’t think YouTube really compares to Netflix
I reckon it’s more like the iPod touch. It’s applying a new idea in an area that is a mismatch for it’s potential. Eventually the best use for the emerging tech will become apparent and the current form will fall away
Hey, you’re just salty that you didn’t get in on the ground floor when Stargate was being exclusively streamed in a dedicated Stargate streaming service
If you get rid of licensing you get rid of the content
Nah, my company doesn’t allow torrenting movies so a corporate VPN is useless
If copyright was abolished overnight, then the corporations with enough money would control everything. The chance for an individual creator to create and control their unique art would disappear. Works of art and entertainment would forever be controlled by giant corporations.
Yes, but it’s, like, really fancy.
I use musicbee and MP3/FLAC.
My music collection is to large and keyed to my tastes to throw away, and I don’t want to pay for Spotify.
It’s not about wanting it to stop, it’s about getting it to maturity so we can get out of this phase of buzz words, misleading marketing, and then we can find out what the tech can actually be useful for.
Then you need a more powerful PC. What do you mean a more powerful monitor? I don’t even understand what that means.
What do you mean “powerful monitor”. It just needs to display a picture.
A big part of Airbnb used to be spending time with a host. It has since turned into just landlord via app.
And I prefer it the other way.
You are thinking about IP with tunnel vision. You just want to gain entertainment for free. There’s more than that to IP laws. How would you like it if you made art that was then used in a manner that you philosophically disagree with. For example, Meghan Trainor had a song that was used against her will in a political campaign against same sex marriage, she was able to cease and desist this use because of IP laws.
