#CopyrightTerms being extended over and over mean that you’re unlikely to see a book published in your lifetime enter the #PublicDomain. We need to put a halt to excessive ©️ protection terms that 🧱 lock away 🔒 #culture 🧱 https://t.co/DJwQD93spI #PublicDomainDay #WalledCulture

Incredible storytelling. A whirlwind of edits, jokes & comparisons.
@remixeverything's Part 2 is all you need for Christmas. That and some weird TikTok videos.

Here is a small revolution in our daily lives! Our proposal for a common charger for mobile phones and other devices was adopted today. No more entangled cables in our hallway drawers 😊 #DigitalEU #EndChargerChaos

[Cory Doctorow NO LONGER ON TWIT TER @doctorow]

#Facebook is a rotten company, rotten from the top down, its founder, board and top execs are sociopaths and monsters, committers of non-hyperbolic, no-fooling crimes against humanity. They lie, they cheat, they steal. They are some of history's greatest villains.

Odetta on appropriation:
-He stole--
-We don't call it stealing.
-Appropriation?
-It is passing on the folk tradition.

Painter Francis Bacon was fascinated by this shot from Battleship Potemkin (1925), and referenced it in his own work, including Study for the Nurse from the Battleship Potemkin (1957)

Surprise, surprise. Copyright rapporteur gets cozy seat in the most corrupt part of the whole system: a collecting society.

[Laura Kayali @LauKaya]

Former French MEP Jean-Marie Cavada, ALDE's shadow rapporteur on the EU's controversial #copyright reform, will chair a collecting society for French press publishers. https://t.co/SQqH5l96xS

Currently re-reading. Great analysis of Copyright’s history with a focus on users and the public benefit

[Peter Suber (@[email protected]) @petersuber]

1/ Academic publishers don’t need exclusive rights. They don’t need them *for publishing*. They don’t need them to make a work public or add value in the form of peer review, metadata, copy editing, formatting &c. Nor do they need them to make enough $$ to pay their bills & grow.
