The estate of Yves Klein sued an artist for trademark infringement for creating his own paint formulation of the blue color Yves Klein made famous.

If you believe artistic expression is more important than protecting a corporation’s claim to a color or concept (blue painted hands), donate to Stuart Semple’s GoFundMe.

Hier ist #Copyright 70 Jahre nach Tod der Mitwirkenden!

Deshalb ist auch #SteamboatWillie nicht 'gemeinfrei' qua abgelaufenen Schutzrechten!

@yamuis @Shadedlady @SandraDeHaan De reden waarom Mickey Mouse erop staat, heeft denk ik hiermee te maken: https://www.rtl.nl/nieuws/economie/artikel/5427284/disney-mickey-mouse-auteursrecht-copyright-publiek-domein

Het is #Disney jarenlang gelukt om de duur van copyright ellenlang te verlengen, tot zelfs na 70 jaar na de dood van de maker en zelfs tot 95 jaar na publicatie of 120 jaar na creatie.

#Piracy is a #Service Problem.

Piracy will exist as long as #corporate #greed will exist.

As long as media will be #overpriced, #delisted, #pulled from shelves or get #OutOfPrint, Piracy will be inevitable.

If it was my decision #Copyright and #patents would be contingent on the #media / #technology being produced and offered for sale.

In fact I think every #claim for #losses should be tossed by any #judge whenever there was no #legal way to obtain a new copy of some content.

Espechally since we live in the #AgeOfAbundance and nowadays the cost for distributing even a #AAA #Game or #Movie is merely the cost of #Storage and #Bandwith, so at worst a whole Euro if we're talking #PayAsYouGo - #Akamai with no minimums to get stuff distributed.

We'd be in the single digit cents if we use #P2P technology like #BitTorrent and #IPFS to keep stuff available.

TIL: Stealing someone's photos and then putting them up on your own website -- and then filing DMCA complaints against the person you stole the photos from -- is a thing.

I am not in any way suggesting I am surprised by this but I have to admit it was not top of mind.

One can really see this is an older video, as it misses not only #0BSD between #PublicDomain and #MIT but also #SSPL right of #AGPLv3 in a tab that's right of it called "#AssetDenial" or "#Monopolistic" or just "#AssholeLicensing" and a tab right of that for "#SourceAvailable" licensing, but I get ahead of myself...

I agree with Doctorow @pluralistic and #RSS was invented by the late genius Aaron Swartz

A must watch:

@shaknais with regards to #Adobe getting the #Copyrights on works made with #pirated version of their #Software, there has been legal precedent...

I just don't have the case number at hand because I won't take a 4-digit subscription to a shitty database search just to win an argument on the internet.

Either way, the problem isn't "#Copywrong" but rather #capitalism forcing us to make ends meet instead of making the world better...

@shaknais @thomholwerda If those assumptions by @senficon were incorrect, then most people I know where lifetime #DebtPeons to the #CopyrightMafia as they learned most stuff not from #Schoolbooks but other media - mostly commercially licensed stuff...

I.e. most millenials in Germany would owe TERFling royalities for learning English from her works.

And that's not even getting me started on how #Copywrong is irredeemably bad and should be abolished entirely because it's broken beyond salvageable...

It's naive at best to entertain the idea that #FLOSS projects and #CC-licensed artworks will be given even a single percent of leverage that the #Copyright-#Mafia is flexing!

@landley personally, I think in exchange for the #tax #writeoff, said movies should've been forcibly relicensed as #PublicDomain.

After all, said company already took from the public claiming they won't make money off those movies, so tuey shouldn't be allowed to claim damages for "unauthorized distribution"...

Sadly, that's not how #Copywrong works.

@nixCraft except that's not how #Copyright works....

"The copyright and patent systems must serve their public purpose or encouraging innovation and creation. The current system does the opposite. The system is doing great harm to our society..."
