voiding all IP law would literally bankrupt the entire media industry, crashing tens if not hundreds of billions out of the industry practically overnight.

Why is it possible to sell copies of public domain books when we have libraries?
because somebody physically produces the book wdym?
btw just because something is in the public domain, doesn’t mean that every variant attached to it is, just the one specifically defined under law, a book that is in the public domain, but also on the shelves of a retailer, might not be a public domain work at all. Because it’s a different work entirely.
I’m not even sure you can prevent the production of a work, just because it’s public domain, you just can’t hold copyright on it, so you could theoretically print and sell a book in the public domain legally, as long as you don’t declare that you own copyright.
- Comment on Jack Dorsey would like to ‘delete all IP law’. 1 week ago:
IP law and copyright is really important. It protects people from companies, and companies from bad actors.

i mean, i hate IP law as well, i like stealing shit.

yeah and this is the comment section of the thread of a 4chan post.
It’s not that deep bro.

Borderline rape? Really?
if you logically extend it into the future, where this would be an actual thing that actually happened, yes at some point it would become rape, it’s just not really a thing you should argue.
People say shit like this and I wonder how much meat space experience they have with… really, anything.
it doesn’t really matter, if you’re saying that you could have sex with anybody specifically one person, and that person doesn’t consent (which is a very real possibility) then at that point you would necessitate violating consent.
It’s just not a healthy way to think about sex.
Anyone else read “The Anxious Generation” yet?
unfortunately not, i’m busy watching the downfall of the US society atm, so.

ah, yeah no that would do it, i wouldn’t report shit like this either. People are entitled to posting their dogshit opinions on the internet (myself included lmao)
- Comment on nature is music 1 week ago:
And genetics were used to justify genocide and eugenics. By your logic are genetics absolutely evil?
genetics are a constant truth, so the argument should be based from the perspective that genetics mean something, in retards to genocide and eugenics, not that genetics itself is flawed, because genetics didn’t create this perception, humans did.
- Comment on nature is music 1 week ago:
it’s the internet, and this is a post about blackholes and a bird being recorded. This is a tad bit out of place for what it is, not surprised people downvoted it, probably because they thought it was irrelevant, oh well, that’s the internet, sometimes people like what you have to say, other times they don’t. Don’t think about it too hard, at the end of the day it’s just internet karma.

- Comment on Pens in Space 1 week ago:
the pen doesnt necessarily need to absorb the ink, the ink just needs to dry on the surface is such a way that it adheres well enough it doesn’t rub off, or stay wet.
So really, you want a high adhesion, quick drying ink, which would basically let you write on any surface it’ll stick to.

fair enough, but good on you for giving them what they deserve.
- Comment on Anon has a female friend 1 week ago:
there’s no context, that’s the problem. Depending on their friendship this could be very normal, or it could be very weird, without any context this is batshit insane.
- Comment on Anon has a female friend 1 week ago:
yeah, if anybody is stating that they could (presumably) get sex from anybody, that’s borderline rape at some point.
- Comment on Anon has a female friend 1 week ago:
yes “I could have you if I wanted”
i mean, in some twisted sense of the word, if they were a better/different person, they could have them.
- Comment on Anon has a female friend 1 week ago:
good bait bro
- Comment on Anon is a statistic 1 week ago:
that’s true, and theres probably some truth to it, but it’s not a direct 1:1 comparison, so it’s not just fair to say it’s only gun control laws, when there are about 10 reasons it could be actually influencing it, though realistically a few of those are probably gun control related.
- Comment on Anon is a statistic 1 week ago:
statistically, someone who goes outside, unless they go into a shitty part of town, where this kind of violence is more common, isn’t going to be exposed to it.
It’s like claiming that because we bombed japan in ww2, that the US population has radiation sickness.
- Comment on Anon is a statistic 1 week ago:
The virctims in gang violence include innocent bystanders.
i mean it certainly can, but statistically, gang violence is going to be between gangs. Whether or that happens to be among specific racial, or ethnic groups is a different story entirely.
Of course there is also the question of gang violence hitting non violent members of the local community which may or may not be involved in that gang specifically, but that’s a different problem.
We all know exactly what you’re really saying here and you’ll deny and make excuses about it.
yeah, and it’s that specific communities, which tend to be correlative with racial/ethnic groups (you wouldn’t disagree with me on this one, judging by your comment acknowledging this fact) tend to have issues with discriminate, or indiscriminate violence between members of their community, for various reasons.
This is usually a phenomenon restricted to certain geographic areas though, it rarely makes it way outside of these areas, to places where “mass violence” is most commonly reported on. Because it’s not common.

it’s a bowl, it’s like trying to pick up a gold bar, how are you meant to get ANY leverage on it without using a knife or something?

- Comment on How likely is it that Trump will be the first President assassinated since Kennedy? 2 weeks ago:
Even that article is wrong bcs there are plenty videos where the public see this dupe get on the roof 30 minutes before, not just “one kid”.
i didn’t say one kid saw him? And getting up there 20 minutes before the rally is not “a long time” that’s 20 minutes. Should they have known about it? Yes, did they? Yes. Did the ground police do anything about it? No, because they didn’t have functional communication.
No way this would happen in reality.
i mean this is literally the one valid explanation for why this managed to happen at all, the only other option is that it was a complete conspiracy, and i’ve seen no evidence to support that, and given the fact that police, and secret service, are two different entities, i’m going to align with the former.
Reporting he was “shot trough the ear” and not having any sign of any wound 4 days later in 4K close ups is not possible.
he wasn’t “shot through the ear” the reporting is just wrong. It’s evident from the video, from the bleeding, and from the wound, he simply wasn’t “shot in the ear” he was grazed by a bullet at best, cut his ear on the way down at worst.
Extended healthcare can’t do miracles. What a laughable excuse.
for a minor injury? Yeah it can. I’ve seen 2nd degree burns go away in a couple of days from ointment. Shits wack when you have the right tools for the job.
Sure, do you actually believe the potocol is no to take into account a second shooter?
that’s possible, but are there are any good circumstances for this to be the case? Even when he did stand up, SS was crowded around him, it would be very difficult to take a good shot from that point, at which point SS are likely watching like a hawk.
And you admit he got up after this.
i mean yeah… If you watch the video, he literally does this. The most famous image of that year was literally him standing. Like idk why you’re acting like this is WITHOUT A DOUBT proof that it’s conspiracy, it’s evident that it happened.
Standing there wanting to get his shoes and then having his planned photo.
not everybody thinks clearly in situations like this, especially old people, the job of the SS is to protect him, if they deemed it unimportant, they would’ve carted him off sooner.
The SS stood somewhat around him, in no way were they ‘piled up’ on his as they should be constantly.
you can literally watch the video, the center mass of his body is very clearly blocked, the head is not a particularly good target, as evidenced by the fact that he fucking missed.
Shinzo Abe or other events are irrelevant.
I mean yeah, to this particular event, but do you think his killing was a conspiracy?
OC attempts can happen, but here nothing adds up and you can’t but laugh at this pathetic spectacle or the fools believing it.
i mean, it’s literally just weird at best, i’ve seen weirder, look at any shooting through history. They’re all weird as fuck.
- Comment on How likely is it that Trump will be the first President assassinated since Kennedy? 2 weeks ago:
yeah that’s technically true, but they’ve done basically everything they already can, nothing happening today is “new” it’s old news. That’s what i mean when i say “lame duck”
And technically, from the perspective of nearly no consequences, this is literally a lame duck president all the way through, but that’s not really a fully accurate telling.
you don’t need to tell me what this administration is bad at, trust me, i know.
- Comment on Anon is a statistic 2 weeks ago:
yeah im not even touching that, because honestly, i have no idea what the numbers look like, but i’d guess that’s the case for the majority of violence in most places (cities especially)
- Comment on Make gravity your bitch 2 weeks ago:
if we’re talking gravity physics, the earth, by basically every possible kilogram of mass imaginable to the human mind. But this goes without saying, because you stick to the earth, the earth doesn’t stick to you, so.
Of course technically, the force is applied to both objects, but considering the scale mismatch, one of these things is not like the other.
- Comment on Anon is a statistic 2 weeks ago:
fuck it, get shot, why not fuck up their lives.
- Comment on Anon is a statistic 2 weeks ago:
that’s actually a better argument for me ironically.
Europe is more densely populated, among a smaller landmass (if we explicitly refer to western europe) making it MORE likely that any mass violence events hurt more random people.
Where as the US has LESS people, across MORE space, making it even more unlikely for you to be involved in these attacks, because people are simply less likely to be in those places, at the time of the attack.
Of course the US has disproportionately more acts of violence against other people, than somewhere like europe, but there are a variety of reasons this could be the case, but it’s questionable whether this makes you “significantly” more likely to experience an attack, considering you also spend “considerably less” time around other people in general.
- Comment on Anon is a statistic 2 weeks ago:
and it regularly involves a specific group of people, often times doesn’t really even involve every day normal people, as opposed to a mass shooting, where the literal point is killing normal people.
- Comment on Anon is a statistic 2 weeks ago:
because it’s a statistical anomaly, it’s like including capital punishment in homicide numbers.
