I’m trying to get to a reason on this, but my point reach to a limit.
I’ve the feels that scraping the internet for public accessible data, like for example open and public music on Spotify wouldn’t be a crime, but the distribution would be. At the same token, this is seem as a crime, while Google does the same and nothing happens, even worse, if this get regulated, Google would have a huge advantage on anyone else.
So, my deeper question is: “Is copyright dead?”
I guess you never created an original of anything? Maybe I read that wrong…
I’ve written more than one piece of software, and plenty of wordpress themes. I always release them without a license, for anyone to use however they want. copyright is capitalist nonsense and only exists to gatekeep creative freedom and stifle innovation.
I hate capitalism and the way it devalues people, reducing them to consumers. The fact remains we live in it, and have to eat. If you release everything to AI crawlers, what do you eat, assuming you don’t lay tiles for a living, which would make you “rich” but very busy…
you should release it as public domain; unfortunately others can’t “legally” use anything just because they have access to it (no license).
yeah, it’s absolutely stupid capitalist theater
I don’t care about laws or legality, and neither should you.
I think everyone should care about lawas and legality. It’s a bad advice to tell anyone to not care.
With the slow-death of copyright, what else is left? And if not dead, how can we reclaim it? I’ve so many questions, and I can’t focus on a single thing :(
Copyright is not dying, that is what Ai companies and those who do not care want you to believe. So you stop caring too. Copyright is an important law around the world. Just because there are loopholes and current difficulties and not being clear, does not mean its dead or dying. It just means (as always) needs some new adjustments and clarification to adapt to new technology.
I’ve the impression that copyright isn’t for the “small guy”, but for the “big tech”
It’s also for the small guy, so the big guy does not steal your ideas and use it without compensation.
Th logs on my blog say otherwise
The logs on my git repository says otherwise too
What exactly do you mean?
That I’ve logs that prove that some companies are scraping my posts and code when they should not.
I know they do this. But it does not change the fact that copyright is for the small guy AND for the big guys.
I did, obtaining a monopoly on it would go counter my beliefs. Anyway originality is overrated and very hard to measure. Especially now.
