Others have mentioned it, but to elaborate, Alcoholics Anonymous is not merely sitting in a circle and sharing your problems, but a belief system which requires you to submit to a higher power to move forward.
expanding “fair use”
I’m not talking about fair use, I’m talking about public domain; complete freedom to modify or redistribute.
Said pain should be rewarded
Yes, by temporary monopoly
Amazon shouldn’t be able to find something just outside of the copyright window to copy and redistribute.
Why not? Project Gutenberg provides an incredible service (and LibriVox) which is based entirely on the concept of old works naturally falling into public domain. Imagine how absurd it would be if you still had to pay the publisher of Charles Dickens to read A Christmas Carol.
some content farm could just copy a video, reupload it, then rake in all the profits
Do you see content farms making bank with public domain content now? This is a ridiculous scenario, you obviously have not thought out this issue and instead are just justifying your feelings on the matter. Old things belong to everybody, culture is meant to be shared.
because copyright for small creators is rarely enforced
That’s a completely separate matter bud, go ahead and advocate for enforcing the law for small creators, I’m talking about what the limit for those protections should be.
I don’t see this working out well in today’s world because old stuff is brought up and popularized seemingly often
That’s a feature, not a bug. Humans have always built upon that which came before, that’s why Robin Hood is a beloved story because each generation could do what they want with it, or King Arthur, or Shakespeare.
Nobody owns ideas, if you come up with something neat, sure have 20 years to try and make it successful, otherwise it’s free real estate. Anything else is a perversion of human nature.
These are Netherlanders, not Gazans
They are perpetuating them after having created them.
You are victim blaming, men born this millennium have had zero part in creating them.
Hopefully just the Hamas bitches
“brainwash them into an ideology” excellent leap my dude
I never said anyone shouldn’t have children.
whose children are you proposing to teach to care for the planet?
children up for adoption
Yes, adoption is literally eugenics AND brainwashing, you are very smart.
someone disagreeing with you is not holier-than-thou
adoption
65 million years isn’t that bad on a geologic scale
As long as there isn’t a runaway greenhouse effect that turns Earth to Venus, life would almost certainly continue, with or without us.
that Thomas Jefferson guy was a real unhinged fuckwad
uhh, yeah? he fucked people he didn’t consider human, he’s at least unhinged as a dogfucker
and other people are allowed to react to it
Or I can be reasonably scornful at jackasses
Wouldn’t spinning in the opposite direction indicate that it’s axial tilt is flipped or something?
It’s simply burning calories.
What a terrible day to be able to read.
CRISPR take me away!
