Rent-Only Copyright Culture Makes Us All Worse Off
In the Netflix/Spotify/Amazon era, many of us access copyrighted works purely in digital form – and that means we rarely have the chance to buy them. Instead, we are stuck renting them, subject to all kinds of terms and conditions. And because the content is digital, reselling it, lending it, even preserving it for your own use inevitably requires copying. Unfortunately, when it comes to copying digital media, US copyright law has pretty much lost the plot.

Global Value of Music Copyright Hits New All-Time High, Nearly Doubling in a Decade to $47.2bn in 2024 — Pivotal Economics
The global value of music copyright reached $47.2bn in 2024. That's up just $2.3bn (5.2%) on the prior year; growth is slowing largely because this is the first year where the pandemic effects have vanished.

I feel like I should have gotten a discount on the dishwasher, or at the very least access to its firmware source code! 🤠

When you ask someone to respect your GPL free/open source license, sometimes they act offended and say you are threatening them with state violence. The thinking seems to be that copyright law comes down to threats to put people in prison. I've only seen this from privileged white men in tech. Where does this come from? It's it a right wing libertarian ideology? (genuine question, I'd like to know!)

Copypasta from LinkedIn:
Recent blogs by KnowledgeRights21 blaming copyright and the creative industry for knowledge hampering instead of, for example, the enormous bureaucracy in place in Horizon Europe / European Commission grants is really something.
Don't get me wrong, I think #copyright should be reformed and in its current form is indeed strange - why can we copyright research articles for example?

The whole thing is optimized for scams, deception and other criminal behavior:
- user interface that deceptively pretends it's a human you're talking to
- claims from companies highly exaggerate capabilities
companies and "experts" constantly hype "AGI" which they (funnily enough) do to both make investors greedier and spread fear and as a distraction because these algorithms can't actually do what they keep promising
- large-scale accounting and financial fraud (e.g. what Nvidia is doing with circular selling)
- biggest case of copyright infringement in history
Note: I think the underlying technology is really cool, and definitely has use cases and can be used for actually good things. But: some technology just has more downsides than upsides, and some should only be used by experts in controlled environments. Leaded gasoline, asbestos and chlorofluorocarbon are also all really cool technology.
In this case perhaps the techology itself doesn't do anything inherently bad, however the people making it are lying about what it can do, the people selling it are motivated purely by greed and the people using it (often forced to do so) are being deceived.
