Comment on Jack Dorsey would like to ‘delete all IP law’.
Gallows@lemm.ee 4 days agoThe problem for me is that if you abolish copyrights it means your creation can be used for any reason without permission.
Maybe you don’t care if somebody downloads your music for free to listen to or uses it in their goofy TikTok dance video.
But, no copyright also means the most terrible person on the planet can use your song at their political rally. They can use it as a backing tracks for ideals you do not agree with. A major corporation can use it in their advertising campaign. They can even straight up sell your creations as their own for profit.
Without the protection of copyright, artists, authors, musicians, video content creators, etc. have no say in how their work is used.
That’s one of the least worrying aspects of abolishing copyright for me. but then again, the whole “control what others do with your creation” never sat right with me in the first place. I tend to fall into the “property is theft” line of reasoning.
With regards to profit sharing in particular, well, I think copyright law is a paltry, dirty bandage that covers up the festering wound of for-profit art. At the very least, the wound needs to be cleaned and the bandage changed.
Exactly. There are so, so, so many different ways that no IP laws can backfire severely and in ways that people don’t think about. The scenario you just used, I hadn’t even thought of, but yes! I would HATE for something I created to be used to promote ideologies or products I am vehemently against.
Don’t care. Don’t like what you created existing? Don’t make it. You’re using “but muh art” to prop up a system which is needlessly killing people by denying them access to information which would save their lives. Your art doesn’t matter. The concept of IP is evil

All you described is happening WITH copyright and even enforced by it.

Copyright owner is not author. Publisher(disney, EA, Ubisoft) controls everything and author has no say in it. Often authors in order to discuss their works and show portfolios have to pirate their own work(e.g. The Owl House). So copyright protects inability of artists, authors, musicians, video content creators, etc. have no say in how their work is used.
