   Knowledge is a human right. Under this logic no person should be able to read her book either, because we might recall it later without the author's permission.

   Note - Kudos to Sarah Silverman! This will most likely become a landmark case.…

      @fu Based on https://www.cnn.com/2023/07/10/tech/sarah-silverman-openai-meta-lawsuit/index.html , that argument becomes:
      
      Mom posts video of toddler dancing to copyrighted song = sue the f*ck out of her under #DMCA; giant corporation sucks up vast swathes of copyrighted materials and feeds them to a computer = "information wants to be free".
      
      I would like to greatly shrink copyright, but let's shrink its effects on individuals. Corporations already have too much power.

         @LinuxWalt (@lnxw48a1) {3EB165E0-5BB1-45D2-9E7D-93B31821F864} corporations dont' exist in nature, its just collectives of individuals. Copyright doesn't exist, its an artificial creation of the state to keep those in power in power. The market sets the greatest value of content for those first to market. Lets let the market work already instead of these so-called artists wanting to keep getting paid for work they did a long time ago, while the rest of us have to keep dong work everyday to pay our bills.
