I don't think that's true. There's a great video here that highlights the fact that even a lot of modern slang is far older than you think.
Mate, the thing about gen x is that they dont care. This is boomer energy being projected.
Which is cool, I guess, whatever.
I'm interested to hear what everyone uses as an alternative.
The second it becomes the standard is the second google looks for ways of nerfing it.
Dead drops and one time pads.
Set up a numbers station if you can afford it.
The devil is in the details. Different contracts state different usages.
Often, I'm hired to make things for folk, and they own it entirely. I see these things out in the world, I sometimes see other artists hired to butcher it to fit a new purpose. But that's OK, I account for that, and often I hand over the source files from the things I make... Layered documents etc.
However, there's a really disturbing trend of large companies appropriating fan art and claiming that because they own the IP any derivatives belong to them too. This is far ickier.
The main thing though is credit. You'd think that giving a nod to the original artist would be nice. It costs nothing and can have a massive impact on their business.
Not viruses as such, at least according to the inventor of the term, rather they are already part of our inheritable structure, our DNA (so to speak) seeking new ways to be inherited.
We are our memes.
I'm sorry, "lenchings" is not a word in this puzzle, or the dictionary. Watch this ad to gain another credit and gave another guess.
It's always been about context and provenance. Who took the image? Are there supporting accounts?
But also, it has always been about the knowlege that no one... Absolutely no one... Does lines of coke from a woven mat floor covering.
The big brain move was to ask them first, thereby proving you wanted to use their IP.
If he had just faked it anyway without asking he might have got away with it.
Genius strategist.
