@charlotte fellas is it right-wing to abolish copyright

@Flaky i heart reproducing the current socioeconomic relations of the current society

@charlotte @Flaky

so copyright hasn’t been abolished, nor will it be abolished, it’s just that the laws do not apply to capitalists, as usual

@ug @Flaky the laws do apply to everyone. anthropic will pay their fine just fine. it's just capex on training to them, nothing more and nothing else

@ug @Flaky it's meaningless to fight for enforcement of copyright when it's literally already being enforced exactly as it was designed. nothing is broken lol

@charlotte @ug @Flaky fair use was not in the US constitution and therefore was very much not "as designed". a law that can't change to meet new forms of intellectual labor is a broken legal system, and the laws accepted as valid by individuals forms the individual's personal legal system

@hipsterelectron @ug @Flaky but there's absolutely nothing extraordinary happening here. the property owner receives the compensation in the end. nobody's ever promised it's for public benefit

copyright worked exactly as designed, as a system of property on non material goods. whether or not it's a good system, and whether or not intellectual property is even a meaningful concept are two different questions

@charlotte @ug @Flaky transformative fair use in US law does in fact very specifically describe "public benefit" as a component of the multi-factor balancing test. the two hachette vs IA decisions are very well written and approachable on this matter, and very specifically describe the ebook lending system as heinous and not something the court has the power to fix. that's a flaw with the legislative and court system to support your point

@charlotte @ug @Flaky furthermore i see it as a fundamental failure that a patent or copyright can be transferred from the creator, and that's not actually at all part of the original conception of copyright either. it is also absolutely something that can be legislated, and banning it is quite literally a component of my insane software license nobody will use. i don't think i disagree with your analysis until you raise the spectre of "as designed". i think that's nihilist is all
