voiding all IP law would literally bankrupt the entire media industry, crashing tens if not hundreds of billions out of the industry practically overnight.

Why is it possible to sell copies of public domain books when we have libraries?

because somebody physically produces the book wdym?

btw just because something is in the public domain, doesn’t mean that every variant attached to it is, just the one specifically defined under law, a book that is in the public domain, but also on the shelves of a retailer, might not be a public domain work at all. Because it’s a different work entirely.

I’m not even sure you can prevent the production of a work, just because it’s public domain, you just can’t hold copyright on it, so you could theoretically print and sell a book in the public domain legally, as long as you don’t declare that you own copyright.

IP law and copyright is really important. It protects people from companies, and companies from bad actors.

i mean, i hate IP law as well, i like stealing shit.

that’s true, but i would prefer they be upfront about it. If you’re advertising something, and i’m not getting it, that’s not great advertising.

If you’re telling me i get unlimited bandwidth on a 1gb connection, and you don’t give me that exact thing in return, it’s false advertising. Soft limit it if you want, just be honest about it. The solution here is a bandwidth limited plan, and one that isn’t.

ah, yeah no that would do it, i wouldn’t report shit like this either. People are entitled to posting their dogshit opinions on the internet (myself included lmao)

And genetics were used to justify genocide and eugenics. By your logic are genetics absolutely evil?

genetics are a constant truth, so the argument should be based from the perspective that genetics mean something, in regards to genocide and eugenics, not that genetics itself is flawed, because genetics didn’t create this perception, humans did.

edit: retards was a typo of regards lmao, what an unfortunate typo.

it’s the internet, and this is a post about blackholes and a bird being recorded. This is a tad bit out of place for what it is, not surprised people downvoted it, probably because they thought it was irrelevant, oh well, that’s the internet, sometimes people like what you have to say, other times they don’t. Don’t think about it too hard, at the end of the day it’s just internet karma.

thats what a lot of AI is used for, just in different fields.

give this man a break, he owns a nissan truck.

the paper doesnt necessarily need to absorb the ink, the ink just needs to dry on the surface is such a way that it adheres well enough it doesn’t rub off, or stay wet.

So really, you want a high adhesion, quick drying ink, which would basically let you write on any surface it’ll stick to.

Them calling it “unlimited” when there’s a limit is wrong, but so is using all of the available upload bandwidth 100% of the time on a cheap home VPN service when you consider the current market prices for data transfer. Mine’s limited to 2Mbps. Seems fair for $7/month or whatever it is.

they shouldn’t make it unlimited them, skill issue on their part.

If you’re selling me 1Gb networking speeds, with no bandwidth limit, it’s not my fault for using all of it lol. I’m just using what i pay for.

if somebody does a little torrenting you can just hand wave it, but if someone is doing all of the torrenting, you pretty clearly know about it.

it’s a bowl, it’s like trying to pick up a gold bar, how are you meant to get ANY leverage on it without using a knife or something?

if we’re talking gravity physics, the earth, by basically every possible kilogram of mass imaginable to the human mind. But this goes without saying, because you stick to the earth, the earth doesn’t stick to you, so.

Of course technically, the force is applied to both objects, but considering the scale mismatch, one of these things is not like the other.

thats just because the gravitational pull of your hand is weak shit.

Get more mass, massless nerd.

The problem in NY is that the cars are too big for the lanes to do that.

the only place available for people to do this is parking lanes and bus/bike lanes.

theres people on it? Like regularly?

Also i doubt an ambulance would even fit in most places, chances are it’s going to get stuck, immediately.

idk this is why im asexual.

I’m just better than everybody

/s obviously, unless you agree with me lmao.

who else would it be? They’re the only people on the internet, don’t you know?
