  Because tooth fairies only want milk teeth that have fallen out naturally and is given willingly. If it started graverobbing dead people or knocking out adult’s teeth when they are sleeping, they would lose their ability to fly and they would become a dark shadow creature, alone and hiding from the light of day. And tooth fairies love the sun and they love the smile on children’s faces when they lift their pillows in the morning to see what the tooth fairy left them. That is what makes them fly and what makes their stomachs tickle with happiness.

  And that is why tooth fairies don’t rob graves.

  I get that you see no value in art, but I thoroughly disagree with your views on that subject. You and i could have had an interesting discussion on how IP laws affects medicine but I’m not gonna have that with you since you are exactly the kind of person who has zero respect for people who make things.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jack Dorsey would like to ‘delete all IP law’.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah. It’s a masterpiece and in my opinion, one the best stories she ever wrote. Which says a lot, because she almost only wrote brilliant works.

  I always describe her as Scandinavia’s JK Rowling (only a thousand times better) when I explain to non-scandinavians what she means to us. I know I am obligated by law to clown on Sweden, but there are a couple of areas where the swedes are superior and Astrid Lindgren is one of those areas.

  Also, happy Easter and I hope you have a wonderful Spring, my friend ❤️

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jack Dorsey would like to ‘delete all IP law’.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Exactly. There are so, so, so many different ways that no IP laws can backfire severely and in ways that people don’t think about. The scenario you just used, I hadn’t even thought of, but yes! I would HATE for something I created to be used to promote ideologies or products I am vehemently against.

  When software and entertainment is created for people to use for free, that is a deliberate action from the creator. They can’t do that every single time, but they can do it once in awhile if they please.

  I am a professional artist and I sometimes draw things for free for other people because sometimes I decide it is worth it for me to do that. It is kinda like doing volunteer work. You don’t get paid, but it gives you something back either socially or ideologically etc.

  But I am pretty sure that the people who create free software and entertainment either aren’t working full time in software or entertainment and get their money from an unrelated job or they decided to do one for the community inbetween orders. They would not do this all the time if they were financially dependent on their skills and products giving them food on the table. I don’t think you would give your own services away for free all the time in the name of community spirit. But once in awhile, is fine. Then it is an agreement you made woth yourself, that you have given a work to the community for free and therefore you don’t care about IP.

  When it comes to games and copying, well, people have copied media for ages and no matter what you say, it does affect profitability. Musicians can’t earn any money on their music. They earn money on merch and when they are on tour. Nobody buys their music anymore because they can just download it for free online. I can’t speak for games as I’m not a gamer, but with movies I personally prefer to buy a physical copy of the film rather than downloading movies in poorer quality than what I would have been able to get on bluray. I don’t know, but I can imagine people still buy games to get the best quality and maybe enough people want to financially support the developers to make sure that they can still produce good games than they want to make copies and share them. If games ended up being copied to the same extent thst music does, I think you would start to see an effect on the market because making games would no longer be financially possible. In fact, the gaming industry bubble did burst a few years ago and I know a lot of developers who can’t find jobs. Similar in animation. And it is not like any of these creators lived good beforehand either. A profitable game, I doubt is profitable in the way you think it is. It is my personal experience from being both part of and a spectator in the industry that the success of any creation is largely smoke and mirrors. People are extremely poor and companies go bankrupt all the time, especially in recent years. Maybe part of it is because people decide to copy a game for free rather than buy it, maybe it is bigger than that, but people don’t really value art nowadays because they don’t see it as art, but as content that they can mindlessly consume and get easy access to. It should be easier than ever for artists to earn money with how much art people consume, but the opposite is true. If artists have their intellectual property taken from them as well in the landscape we already have, then that will be the death of the art career. We have so little already. If we can’t even keep domain over our own creation, then what is the point?

  I don’t understand your argument about public domain books. Public domain refers to the material no longer having a living creator who can profit from their own work. People can sell public domain books but that money goes to the publisher who probably did a lovely new edition of an old book with pretty covers.

  I don’t know what you mean. The money from a sale of a public domain book won’t financially support the author.

  If we talk about a living author who owns their IP and their book is available in the library, then I still say the same thing I did before, that the library doesn’t sell the books, nor do they take ownership of the IP. The book market also has other problems than public libraries. The problems they face is that no one reads anymore, but that is a different discussion.

  I think it is so so beautiful. Both the film and the book. It is one of the most beautiful and compassionate children’s stories about death that I have ever known. As a kid, it sure did comfort me to think that if something were to happen to me or my family members, we would meet again in Nangijala.

  I think one of the most heartbreaking things I ever saw in a graveyard was a gravestone for an infant that said “Vi ses i Nangijala”.

  I also recently discovered a radioplay on youtube based on Astrid’s book and I listened to all of it and even though I’m not fluent in Swedish at all, I fucking loved every second of it. The voice acting, the music and the sound effects are absolutely stellar. If you haven’t listened to it, I highly recommend it. I’m guessing you are Swedish yourself or at least able to understand Swedish!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jack Dorsey would like to ‘delete all IP law’.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Dude, it wasn’t until I was in my 20s that I realized that the last shot of the movie adaptation was a shot of their gravestone in the real world. Until then I had been so severely in denial about the implications of that, that I just didn’t register it.

  I’m telling you, I was bawling on the floor.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jack Dorsey would like to ‘delete all IP law’.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Absolutely. We will see a scenario where the big companies readjust to the new market while everybody else loses.

  This reminds me of the mocking of unions that I witnessed happening a lot online a year or two ago and I was so fucking confused how normal everyday people who didn’t own big companies could poopoo unions and call it commie shit.

  In my country, we have a proud union history that has secured the rights of workers for generations so it was very bizarre to me to see - mostly Americans - mock unions as a concept.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jack Dorsey would like to ‘delete all IP law’.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is exactly what would happen.

  I’m a creator myself and it is already hard enough to get jobs - not even well paying jobs, just jobs. Now we are competing with AI and then you’re telling me that people here on Lemmy agree with these wolves about abolishing IP laws, which means my hard work and intellectual property that I have spent countless hours on developing, is now up for grabs for anyone out there who is bigger and richer than me?

  I seriously don’t believe people have thought this through, or they are lying about being creators themselves.

  But I guess the “I got mine” mentality is all over the internet. Even here, lol. No one cares as long as they think it doesn’t affect them personally. Ladidah. How did that go for the American farmers who voted for Trump because they thought it would help their farms?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jack Dorsey would like to ‘delete all IP law’.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I personally fear that if such a decision was passed, we would see big companies find loopholes and exceptions and/or they would make their profit entirely by stealing from creators without compensation or acknowledgements.

  You want to hurt the big companies so badly you’re willing to saw the branch they, you and everybody else sit on just so you can see them fall.

  I doubt the big companies will be the ones who will feel threatened into negotiations if IP laws were abolished. They would flourish with their businesses and the AI tech bros would have field day making billions by stealing from all of us.

  Your utopia is every creator’s nightmare.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jack Dorsey would like to ‘delete all IP law’.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, there are definitely room for improvement when it comes to IP laws but that is a completely different discussion from the one about abolishing IP laws entirely. One discussion is constructive and aims toward a more fair system, the other is Trump-anarchy which will only ever benefit the ones who have money and power while it will screw the rest of us over.

  Also, not Swedish. I just love Astrid Lindgren.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jack Dorsey would like to ‘delete all IP law’.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There is definitely room for improvement when it comes to IP laws, but abolishing them entirely is not the win some people think it is.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jack Dorsey would like to ‘delete all IP law’.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I am hard side eyeing everyone who are pro abolishment of IP laws. You are either mindless consumers who have never spent time and effort creating anything yourselves your entire lives, or you haven’t thought this through.

  I hope for the latter.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon orders food⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s the same phenomena as when your parents try to give you good advice but you will only listen to it if it comes from the mouths of “outsiders”.

  Example: my boyfriend tried to get me into Tool for ages and I was very indifferent to it. Then my closest colleague starts playing Tool at work and I’m like “omg this music is awesome” and I go home and tell my bf about this amazing new band I have gotten into and he just gets so offended like “I literally tried to get you into it for years wtf”. We laugh about it sometimes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So this is it, is trump god? Will Republicans sacrifice their own well being to own the libs?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is why I laugh when anyone claims that church and government is separate in America. You literally swear on the Bible before taking office. Honestly, to me, America has always had a similar air of religious fundamentalism as some middle eastern countries. I have always seen them as extreme af. The whole abortion debacle is totally about religious values and religious control. No one can convince me otherwise.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon orders food⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I give my man compliments all the time. He calls me silly and pretends he doesn’t care, but I think it is working. Have been running a semi-non stop compliment campaign since Covid where I tell him how beautiful his hair is in the hopes he will cut it less. It’s been a good while since he last came home looking like a sheep after shearing. Summer is approaching, though, so I’m bracing myself for him getting the idea to visit the barber and have him mutilate those beautiful locks of his. It should be crime, honestly.

  Adam was made from clay. Eve was made from Adam’s rib and had the audacity to eat some goofy apple. As punishment, all women were doomed to be in horrible pain during childbirth and since they were made from Adam’s rib, they are also a man’s property. Religion is so kind to us, lol.

  That’s one of the many reasons why I am a bigger fan of science. It makes more sense and is impartial. If anything, the laws of nature is brutally indifferent to who or what you are and will fuck you over or bless you at random. I can deal with that.

  Female specimen bleeds once a month and is plagued hormonal fuckery that makes life unbearable at times. Emotional regulation: hahaha fuck you. Physical discomfort: yessir. Terrible pain from cramps, hormonal migraines and other such hormone related pains: amazing. Acne, oily hair, skin, smelly sweat and bloatedness when hormones go brrrrr: cool.

  Vag-hole too small to squeeze out baby head and will often rip open. If unlucky, female specimen will bleed to death after giving birth, leaving baby without protection and food source. Female specimen only has a very small window to procreate and is most fertile when her brain is the least developed post puberty. When her brain is finally catching up in maturity, her body is starting to regress in fertility and getting pregnant is now a risk to her and the baby. Is somehow blamed and often punished for her biology literally fucking with her from the age of 9 to menopause.

  I would fucking love if my biggest problem was that my reproductive organs were dangling between my legs and got a bit hot once in awhile.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why aren't there mass protests in the USA?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  There have been protests in every single state for awhile now. At least that is what I have heard through the grapevine. I’m Danish so I haven’t seen the protests with my own two eyes, but I have seen pictures, read posts and talked to Americans who are out protesting. From what I have been told, it is unheard of that there are protests for the same cause in all 50 states at the same time. It is historic, but I’m not surprised that the greatest president who ever lived wouldn’t want that information to slip out in the media. It would hurt his fee-fees bigly.
