legalize copyright infringement

[janmisali]

to be clear this is a fully sincere political belief that I have. I am pro copyright infringement and in fact anti "asking for permission to make derivative art"

Never allow small time artists make you doubt about the benefits of open access. I will let you know that the legal troubles that Internet Archive is facing right now all started from these little Hitlers thinking they're owed money from a small, independent and non-profit institution like Internet Archive.

so freeing to be aro lowkey. kissing's just a thing. hugging's just a thing. consent extends to all interactions. the boundaries of a relationship are solely determined by those involved. just do what you want and call it what you want the lines are made up reject the cages of society kiss your friends be gay platonicly no one who matters cares

[maxbytes]

so like if you got a guy who's porous enough that you can stick your hands straight through him + a guy with suction cups on his hands, i think it's quite possible they might get stuck like this once or twice

i dont remember the OP of the post, but whoever it was who said that "you can tell the quality of a space by how it treats schizophrenic agere tgirls" was ABSOLUTELY right. if people can be normal and supportive about all that then its probably a pretty good space

every single conversation abt ip on here devolves into a bunch of people being really anxious that someone is going to take away their hypothetical income from them for their creativity and like, that is already happening. that is literally happening. how do you think publishers like penguin, harper collins, macmillan et al got big and stay big? how do you think publishers like elsevier et al maintain such a stranglehold and charge such amounts? do you even know how individual IP rights operate these days, especially when you're licensing them to a company? have you read a contract ever in your life? have you had to work on preparing a contract ever in your life? do you think your much vaunted, precious authors have the rights to reprint their books whenever if they realise their publishers are fucking them over? don't make me fucking laugh. at the very least please pull your heads out of your asses and read helen dewitt's extensive chronicling of her run-ins with the publishing industry as is. god knows you can pick up the biography or collected/published letters of almost any author* across time and encounter a section with their run-ins and struggles with their publishers, either because they're not being given enough royalties, or because they're writing to contract and need to give their publishers a book by a specific deadline, or a specific kind of book, even when circumstances & health issues are conspiring against them. do you think copyright gives them any control over their lives, or any sort of creative control? don't be so naive - and nevermind the fact that it is basically impossible to have a career in writing these days and that the rare few who do are writing extremely formulaic genre fiction written to, again, insane deadlines that are punishing for any sort of creative work. stop being naive!!!! take an actual look and reckon at what the actual circumstances and conditions are for producing art! it is not good! copyright is not going to save you! it is panacea at best! you will literally do better campaigning for universal basic income over championing the cause of copyright!

*off the top of my head just based on the biographies & other primary sources i've read: agatha christie, aldous huxley, jrr tolkien, georgette heyer

[tobermoriansass]

mind you, this is only in publishing/writing. the conditions are not that much better in other domains. music? most artists are being fucked over by their record companies cutting deals with spotify that leave them getting very little revenue while not actually owning their own masters. visual arts? a handful of artists will break through each year and it depends heavily on your ability to network and attend extremely expensive art events, from what i know of. but maybe you can get lucky working in highly exploitative conditions in a well-known artist's studio where you produce works that are sold under their name :) can't say i know much about television or film, but my impression is that its not that much better (perhaps the greatest evidence in favour of this is the way the number of working working class actors in the uk has nearly dropped completely off and nearly all of them are privately educated in one way or the other). so genuinely who do you think the so called ip law is protecting right now? bc right now from where i'm sitting, it is protecting literally those with the greatest amount of money and purchasing power, on both sides of the cultural production and cultural distribution divides. which as you might imagine is anathema to any kind of genuine creative culture.

[p1tbull-th3ri4n]

how it feels watching every fed snitch sex pest loser scumbag on this website enjoy a permanent cult following of vulnerable sexual minorities because they know how to talk like a PSL organizer and can throw their weight around to discredit and disappear their critics and/or any mouthy victims:

[crazysodomite]

making weird furry art isn't optional. it's like paying taxes. you have to do it. there are consequences to not doing weird furry art. the consequences are on your soul

[pixeljade]

more than anything i want a world where a trans girl realizing she is a trans girl faces zero fear from that realization and subsequent coming out. Where she can say "Oh sweet, I can just be a girl? Sign me up!", no worrying if shes girl enough, no worrying if society will accept her, no worrying if she'll be an attractive girl as she transitions, no worrying at all in any way shape or form.
