  • Copyright exists to protect creators. However, copyright laws are abused by large corporations.

    I am not a regular reader of Jacobin, especially not stories about copyright, but if I had to guess, their main concern is the stifling of culture caused by corporate-driven copyright legislation and attacks on the public domain, moating companies from competition and having to find new material (how many Spiderman movies have come out since 2000?)

    Worse, (perhaps according to Jacobin) OpenAI, a large corporation with lots of money, is freely using copyrighted material to train its models, thus profiting on someone else's work.

    I think that these takes square quite nicely

    You don't need a card to strike. You don't need to give anybody your real name nor phone number to strike. You don't need to join a roster to strike.

    Anybody who shares this URL is sus

  • I don't. I fucking hate him. I hate all these people in our government. They're all ghouls who are unfit to hold even the office of dogcatcher. Kamala Harris too. I wish they'd all get on a rocket and be launched into the sun together
