Comment on 'An embarrassing failure of the US patent system': Videogame IP lawyer says Nintendo's latest patents on Pokémon mechanics 'should not have happened, full stop'

  The thing that irks me the most is that everyone who disagrees is an idiot or a liberal or some shit. No matter how grounded and nuanced your take is.

  Every leftist has their own, ultra specific orthodoxy, and they will always find something about yours that makes you “not a real leftist.”

  Nothing new either, it’s happened countless times. It’s so self-sabotaging.

    You have no take other than approving the purchase and sale of our culture controlled by corporations.

    You say IP is for the little guy, the average federal copyright lawsuit cost a quarter of a million dollars to pursue.

    You have no clue about remix culture which was destroyed by profiteers. Corporations control the majority of artist’s commercial music. Many artists don’t own their own work.

    Corporations constantly steal IP. AI has shown us that they don’t respect the very laws they created.

    The only person living in a dystopia and living it is you. The abolishment of IP would cause an explosion of science and art like the world hasn’t seen since they created laws to prevent it.

      Not the person you responded to, but how would a recording artist earn a living in that model? If their work can get scooped up by a mega corporation and sold for pennies on the dollar due to the massive existing resources, reach, and infrastructure available to the corporation, what protections would there be against that happening?

        Artist that want to make money can preform or sell their work like they have always done. IP is about commercial interests like royalties and licensing. This has nothing to do with the actual promotion of arts and science. It is about control.

        Most artist don’t do it to make money even. This confusion of expression and commercial interest is the crux of what we are dealing with.

        There is no natural protection from someone copying, remixing, or reinventing your work. This is literally how art is made. No one creates in a vacuum and everyone is inspired by someone else.

        There are already no protections for the little guy. Corporations borrow and use whatever they want. The IP system is NOT for the average person. It is designed to benefit and enrich and extreme minority and it does this well.

        Your inability to view your own shortcomings will be a hilarious continual failure for you. Congratulations on being one of far too many morons to walk thos earth.
