  • it definitely is, tho.

    of course they could steal your code, but you could steal theirs. you could steal their software. you could steal their paywalled articles. you could steal all those things that are affected by artificial scarcity. They have much more to loose if copyright gets abolished.

    In an ideal world, I’d make copyright to be 5 years for individuals and abolished for corporations. But the world is far from ideal and individuals have much to win if copyright gets abolished as a whole.



  • everyone got your “sarcasm”. you’re the one being dense here. Nitter was a useful tool for those who have left twitter but needed to access information posted there. It didn’t benefit Twitter in anyway, so there was 0 downsides in using it.

    the fact that you make fun of a useful community tool shutting down is why you’re deservedly being downvoted to hell


  • you need permission to profit off of the works of others.

    but that’s exactly what I said. you can’t grab an image of Mario from google and profit from it as you can’t draw a fan art of Mario and profit from it as well as you can’t generate an image of Mario and profit from it.

    It doesn’t matter if you’re generating it with software or painting it on canvas, if it contains intellectual property of others, you can’t (legally) use it for profit.

    however, generating it and posting it as a meme on the internet falls under fair use, just like using original art and making a meme.
