@Paradox @lain @hj @sun one of the real issues is that law is exceptionally slanted in favor of capital, so its possible and quite common to be legally in the right but unable to meaningfully enforce it.

IP was created so publishers had something to own and hoard. its still doing that, it's just not doing the other shit they made up to make it sound like a good idea (protecting artists from things.)

once more if i just steal it to read it they say i'm a pirate :blobfoxpirate: but if sam altman does it he's a visionary hero

tl;dr rule of law itself is a failure :blobcatgooglybadumtss:
