@endDRM if we completely remove DRM, what’s the proposal as a path forward for artists to be able to monetize their work in a way that is scalable for non-tech people? I’m in agreement with not being dumb and the stupidity that is Spotify et al, but the FOSS software world should be a key marker about the burnout of creators in the DRM-free space and just how difficult it is to pay bills while being there. How do we plan to solve for that so that creating can be sustainable and valued?

@msh @pluralistic @EricLawton they’re already working on this - it’s called “school vouchers.”

/s - kinda. More like /c (cynical)

@fsf I’ve seen many times over the years articles on *how* to assign copyright to FSF; have you written one detailing *why* that would be advantageous, both to the maintainer and the community at large? Preferably in a way that is more detailed than “FOSS good” without further elaboration.
