I don't agree with a lot of the things the founding fathers did or said but the quote "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety" rings true even at this stage.

Because lets be honest here everyone knows that they will be sentencing innocent people with this.

Someone's gunning to be the first trillionare by selling sex bots.

I just realized I don't think I've heard anyone talk about ghossty since it's public launch.

You're not accounting for lurkers which make up ≈80% of any social media site from what I remember. So you end up with what 50 million people actually posting as humans. That is easily outweighed by a significantly smaller portion of bots because they can post continuously.

Holy shit its wubuntu again. Can't these people just go away lol.

I wonder how many people understand how big of a deal that is. Like I imagine a lot of people on Lemmy do but in the general public I have to imagine most people have no idea how deep the hate runs between them.

Fucking source‽ Yes companies do scummy shit with IP all the time but no companies are not reprinting books without paying authors unless there is some crazy contract bullshit.

So what should be done so that authors and inventors are fairly compensated under our current economic system? I am not in support of capitalism to be clear but we are stuck with it for the foreseeable future and I don't want small authors to have large companies just steal their books and reprint them.

can you explain your reason.

(also 760k CAD is about 470k Euro just so you are aware.)

IP is important in the current capitalist world. In an ideal world I absolutely think IP would be abolished but without it there would be no way for a small company to make something and not have it stolen out from under them by a mega corp.

I do not think current IP law is perfect or even very good now but under capitalism it is something that is necessary. Even in open source it matters because without it all the licenses in the world would not matter.

Hey this isn't a cheat thing...

Are you ok?
