Legalizing copyright infringement would be dismantling one of the few limitations on the white urge to steal from Black Art and Black Artists. The practical application of it would be anti-Black as fuck

this argument makes so many assumptions that I disagree with that I don't know where to start

damn asker, that's crazy and would suck. good thing we have robust IP law in the United States to prevent theft from Black artists

now to take a big sip of coffee and look up who owns Tupac Shakur's likeness

Steven Spielberg has received criticism for buying the film rights to MLK's speeches, and further controversy stems from King's estate.

In 2009, Steven Spielberg's DreamWorks company paid the estate for film rights to King's words, along with his life rights, which allow a person or company to make content based on an individual's story. DreamWorks has yet to produce or direct Spielberg's planned King biopic, but the rights have caused complications for numerous filmmakers. (Neither Spielberg's literary agent nor King's estate returned Broadly's request for comment.)

King has received only one major biopic, 2014's Selma, directed by Ava DuVernay […] Instead of using King's speeches, DuVernay wrote original monologues that sounded like soliloquies the civil rights leader could have given. […] When asked about the changes in 2014, DuVernay told the Washington Post, "We knew those rights are already gone. They're with Spielberg."

every single member of TLC declared bankruptcy in '95 because despite selling 10 million copies of CrazySexyCool worldwide and having all four singles on the Billboard top 5, they were still $3.5 million in debt to LaFace Records, at the time owned by a German company controlled by an ex-Nazi family. copyright law protects who from what now?

Legitimately insane ask to send in a world where one of the main uses of copyright law in the music industry in the 80's and 90's was suing black artists for using a 5 second sample of a beatles riff in a hip-hop song or shit like that.

I left it in the comments but I’ll say it here. Rapper Biz Markie’s 1991 album “I Need A Haircut” was famously the basis of a lawsuit over his sample of Alone Again (Naturally) on one of its tracks. His loss in that court case effectively killed the decade of open sampling in hiphop that had preceded this and resulted in every copy of his album being seized and destroyed. Anyone who doesn’t see a problem with the result of this case essentially hates hiphop

The ‘megafish’ living in southeast Asia’s Mekong River once faced extinction. A new rapid response system is helping reverse their dire outl

In Cambodia, a rapid response team is helping to save some of the world's largest and most critically endangered fish when they end up as bycatch.

Conservationists have worked with local governments and fishing communities along the Mekong River to build trust and cooperation. Now they have a 24 hour hotline to call in case of a megafish catch--last year 92 megafish from four endangered species were tagged and released alive thanks to this work.

"After years of watching these species edge toward extinction, seeing numbers rise instead of fall feels almost unimaginable. But it's happening, and it's exciting."

The tailors at Colonial Williamsburg made a suit for their cat

vinceaddams

The best part is that they were inspired by a diary entry from 1775, written by a 12 year old tailor’s apprentice who had been left unsupervised all day and decided to make a suit for a cat. Here’s a link to the blog post about it, but I’ll just paste the whole diary entry here:

“I had been at work about two months when Christmas came on – and here I must relate a little anecdote. The principal [the tailor] and his lady were invited to a party among their friends…while it devolved on me to stay at home and keep house. There was nothing left me in charge to do, only to take care of the house. There was a large cat that generally lay about the fire. In order to try my mechanical powers, I concluded to make a suit of clothing for puss, and for my purpose gathered some scraps of cloth that lay about the shop-board, and went to work as hard as I could. Late in the evening I got my suit of clothes finished; I caught the cat, put on the whole suit – coat, vest, and small-clothes [breeches] – buttoned all on tight, and set down my cat to inspect the fit.

“Unfortunately for me there was a hole through the floor close to the fireplace, just large enough for the cat to pass down; after making some efforts to get rid of the clothes, and failing, pussy descended through the hole and disappeared; the floor was tight and the house underpinned with brick, so there was no chance of pursuit. I consoled myself with a hope that the cat would extricate itself from its incumbrance, but not so; night came and I had made on a good fire and seated myself for some two or three hours after dark, when who should make their appearance but my master and mistress and two young men, all in good humor, with two or three bottles of rum. After all were seated around the fire, who should appear amongst us but the cat in his uniform. I was struck speechless, the secret was out and had no chance of concealing; the cat was caught, the whole work inspected and the question asked, is this your day’s work? I was obliged to answer in the affirmative; I would then have been willing to take a good whipping, and let it stop there, but no, to complete my mortification the clothes were carefully taken off the cat and hung up in the shop for the inspection of all customers that came in.”
