@alcinnz@floss.social @kevinrns@mstdn.social (2/2) #patents expire at like 10 years and are ment for #inventions, while #copyright is ment for #thoughts and #ideas and can be eazier to profit from than inventions , cause you dont need to persuade buyers of your invention's effectiveness, your thoughts just need to be appealing. So, im arguing for a #copyrightexpirationdate set at maximum 25 years
@feike@toot.community @kevinrns@mstdn.social Yeah, I'd be happy with that!
Though I'd add that I'd like to see DRM stop being backed by laws & international treaties.
@alcinnz@floss.social @feike@toot.community
DRM is NOT copyright law. It is a kludge to enforce rich corporate power, using excuses from lawyers.
DRM is "fuck you" training to get you over "the customer is always right" expectations about corporations.

@kevinrns@mstdn.social @alcinnz@floss.social @feike@toot.community I'd go further: DRM is an infringement of copyright law. The legal basis of copyright is that it assigns monopoly protection for a fixed term, subject to fair use. DRM doesn't allow fair use or have a fixed term, therefore it breaks the fundamental legal agreement.

Thank you for the clarification and expansion of the description of its transformation of the law. Copyright was a "right" - I wonder how many people even notice the spelling.
A handshake. A reward for creation, limited to guarantee quick addition of the creation to human progress.
Now through bribes and control of legislatures by money, it is applied as a weapon, with generations of control given to "rights purchasers" not content creators.

@kevinrns@mstdn.social @alcinnz@floss.social @feike@toot.community Oh, yeah, that's another thing I dislike about copyright, that while the US constitution says "…securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors…", what happens now is that corporations end up owning the copyright rather than the authors and inventors — again, defeating the purpose of its existence.
