  • Intellectual property is a means of production after its released. It requires no further input from the creator, and so they shouldnt have a monopoly over it.

    If the internet actually enforced copyright to the letter of the law, it wouldnt exist in its current form. No memes, no game streamers or videogame youtubers, no unlicensed music, no image sharing. Copyright needs to be defended to the best of the holders ability otherwise they lose it. It would necessitate a constant stream of scanning and policing and litigation thatd be so taxing on platforms theyd just shut down. Video game streaming operates in a legal grey zone because the law is flawed.

    Theres a reason programming tools are almost all open source. From languages to libraries to software, the alternative is just too inefficient.

    Copyright is an old shitty system from the days when books required publishers who had to register an ISBN for everything they published. The modern equivalent would be if every unique copyrightable contribution on the internet first required submitting the media to a government agency to store a hash of it and issue a UUID.

    I wouldnt say that IP doesnt exist, but once you share information with someone, they are now also a holder of that IP, just by the nature of reality.







  • Nah unlikely. Rape is mostly a corruption issue i think, like sex trafficking.

    This study of 12600 college students indicates that 87% of rape was committed by serial rapists , and 46% is committed by individuals who have committed 10+ rapes. overall 5% of surveyed students admitted to some form of rape while under the influence of alcohol, but 20% of women and 7% of men report being raped in the past.

    The thing about a serial rapist - they must have some means of keeping women from reporting them, or getting away with it repeatably.

    These people tend to use dogwhistles and form cliques, and once one gets into a position of power they get all their buddies up too to protect one another.

    Letcher county is an example of a ring that got busted open recently. The rural towns judge and deputy and their buddies basically threatened and coerced underage girls and their families into fucking them and attending diddy parties. The sheriff found his daughters number in the judges phone and shot him.

    Police do this regularly too in the USA, some places are better than others but the whole brotherhood and solidarity shit is basically their dogwhistle saying ‘we commit crime and cover for eachother.’ The louder they say it the worse they are. So naturally they attract rapists and murderers to join them, and fire out anyone that may blow the whistle on em.

    Its the same thing with weinstein, epstein, diddy, in the military, and probably trump with the republican party. A ringleader gets some power, grows their sphere of influence and uses it to gate opportunity or threaten women into sex acts. Rinse and repeat for decades and decades and you get a very small percent of people spreading stds like theyre halloween candies.

    And once people are in theres no getting out. Thats why epstein and diddy film everything, blackmail.
