So now artists are going to have to actually apply for copyright? What the fuck happened to intellectual property?
intellectual property is a fiction. it's a term used to snow people. there is no such thing, nor should there be.
Intellectual property is a social construct, but that does not negate its reality or make it fictitious. Its the very thing that copyrights, patents, trademarks and countless laws were created to protect. And it's an invaluable tool for people that need to protect their ideas and creations, especially artists and makers. The issue with intellectual property is that most of the laws surrounding it were created by/for corporations and rich people, and wind up fucking the rest of us over.
people share. food, recipes, songs, stories, pictures, tools. to use a government-enforced monopoly to interfere with people sharing is fucking immoral.
anyone using one term to refer to all of these is being fundamentally dishonest: they are completely separate laws with different histories and uses. stallman says anyone using this term is trying to snow you. i agree.
I'm not convinced you even know what intellectual property is and aren't merely parroting the controversial opinions of random people on the internet. Here are some links that might be of use to you;

I'm not convinced you're interested in perspectives that don't affirm your own
You have yet to offer any new perspective other than to say "your wrong" or "your lying". If you can come up a convincing argument and support it, then I would be more than happy to learn something new and change my mind.
that's still not very convincing. I'm not asking to be convinced though. if you are happy in your ignorance, why should i disabuse you?
Lol, ok bud
