Comment on Sony cracks down on Concord custom servers, issues DMCA takedowns on gameplay videos
mechoman444@lemmy.world 8 hours agoImagine you create a product that is mechanically functional but fundamentally terrible. Only a tiny group is willing to pay for it, and even that isn’t enough to break even. You have no choice but to pull it from the market and discard it. Then the government steps in and starts distributing that product for free. This is your personal intellectual property, you no longer control it or own it.
Your comment is deeply frustrating. It shows a fundamental misunderstanding of copyright and intellectual property, which is frankly astounding.

In the US our Constitution only grants you a monopoly on your creation for a limited time before it ends up in the public domain.

The constitution grants Congress the right to create copyright laws, and that’s it. With current law it’s decades away from applying to this game.
