Are there any organizations working toward the abolition of intellectual property in the US? I agree with you that it's ridiculous and would love to do something about it.
- atomicUpdate 3y agoAssuming such an organization existed, what would stop someone from using their name, logo, etc. to also promote enhancing IP law and undermine they’re entire message? Presumably they wouldn’t be so hypocritical as to sue you for that, would they?
- sicariusnoctis 3y agoIf IP stops being a thing, we can always invent new laws to replace it such as "impersonation".
- narwally 3y agoTrademark and copywright aren't quite the samee things. We can get rid of copywright while still allowing trademarks.
- account42 3y agoEven besides you mixing up trademarks and copyrights, subverting the existing system in order to achive the opposite is not inherently hypocritical. E.g., the GPL is a copyright license.
- becquerel 3y agoMost anarchocommunists are against IP, so the wobblies (IWW) are a good shout.
- dogcomplex 3y agoWait a few more months... let's see what the bittorrent and private crypto folks end up doing with AI... Either way, IP is going to either accept defeat or get very very loose in its claims, as the ability is almost here to just process a feature-length film, slightly modify each scene and replace script, camera angles, environments and actors with generic IP-free amalgamations, all while still capturing the tone and story... Images/text/code are already done for. Who's going to enforce that, and how much similarity do you need to infringe? Who's going to prove you processed that film when nothing about your movie is quite the same?
