A fitting analogy to US\China manufacturing interoperations would be one waving-off flies in a cow pasture only for other flies to take their place. And moan about while making no improvements to the farm.
Technology is to be shared, fuck IP. Let the Chinese have it.
IP is important in the current capitalist world. In an ideal world I absolutely think IP would be abolished but without it there would be no way for a small company to make something and not have it stolen out from under them by a mega corp.
I do not think current IP law is perfect or even very good now but under capitalism it is something that is necessary. Even in open source it matters because without it all the licenses in the world would not matter.
You are aware that IP laws only apply to the masses (us) not to big corps, right?
If any of us take any of theirs and reproduce (and potentially improve) it, we’re almost certainly looking at jail time. But if those companies want to take any of our ideas and profit off of them without even giving us credit, then all’s good.
Fuck copyright, IP and all the similar shit.
Right because all the big AI companies are currently paying big money to all the individual authors that they stole material from.
Copyright doesn’t work. It doesn’t stop big corporations from doing whatever they want. They can wield it as a weapon to hammer individuals and small businesses with, and in the case of e.g. medicine it outright kills people.
So what should be done so that authors and inventors are fairly compensated under our current economic system? I am not in support of capitalism to be clear but we are stuck with it for the foreseeable future and I don’t want small authors to have large companies just steal their books and reprint them.
They already do. Where have you been?
Fucking source‽ Yes companies do scummy shit with IP all the time but no companies are not reprinting books without paying authors unless there is some crazy contract bullshit.
Usa companies did lost some lawsuit about patent never heard any getting banned this is really political
