@thejaymo I'm realising now after crying to you about my Beatles song that my emotional response to this question is really linked to music. I have a completely different feeling around copying/reusing images and text. Maybe there is a nuance there.
@thejaymo I was on Napster too. No problem with sharing. But I know record label gangsters would switch from protection rackets to stealing rackets in a second and do it with great efficiency.
@thejaymo But I really was scarred by the Vodafone thing. I skip track 1 on Abbey Road. The power of association around art is so strong and the trillion dollar marketing economy will jump on any loosening of copyright. But still, your right I know...
@thejaymo Yes I'm aware you talk to aggressively stupid/wilfully obstructive people on this subject and they often hold a lot of power. I would vote for you any day.
@thejaymo But fair enough on your stance, I guess. The other side is immensely stupid and damaging so maybe we have to break some eggs to make an omelette. I still have visions of horrific things beyond...
@no_earthquake There are certainly governments that do more with a lot more efficiency, but the difference between FDA and no FDA is appalling despite how bad the FDA is.
