Summary
Global leaders criticized Trump’s new tariffs, which range from 10% to 49%, warning of trade wars and economic fallout.
The UK and Italy urged negotiation, while Brazil passed a reciprocity bill. China and South Korea vowed countermeasures.
Australia and New Zealand rejected Trump’s logic, citing existing trade deals and low tariffs. Norfolk Island was baffled by a 29% duty despite having no exports.
Financial markets dropped, oil and bitcoin sank, and leaders warned of inflation. Analysts say Trump risks fracturing global trade with little to gain economically.
The entities with the established distribution networks will make the money, not the little guy who makes their own little story.
If I write a little seld published novel, under your system, Hollywood can just take that story and make a movie of it without my permission. How is that better? You think more people pirating will take down these mega corps? Your system is chaos that’s even worse than the current model.
They can do so currently by making a couple of minor changes and settling for a pittance because your lawsuit would bankrupt you.
“Chaos” is a better system than one benefitting corporations only.
Why do so many people on the Internet default to a completely unnuanced worldview? Like there’s more than two diametrically opposed options that can be taken.
Your dilemma essentially translates to “wahh, he stole my idea!”
You’re also missing the forest for the trees, again. How is hollywood going to make an egregious amount of money off of ‘your’ idea without copyright and patent laws? Without them, piracy isn’t piracy. It’s just a normal and legal way of sharing media.
Sad watching how hard you people go to bat for your oppressors, but it really puts into perspective why things are the way they are.
The average person just can’t see past their conditioning or how hard they’ve been indoctrinated to support a system that works against them. In the words of Mark Twain, “it’s easier to fool a man than to convince him he’d been fooled.”
By having the resources to create and distribute a product with polish.
Acting like you’re smarter than the people you’re talking to while missing the very obvious point that we’re not starting from nothing. Being pedantic about me referring to piracy by what it’s called now doesn’t change how impractical it would be to have no ownership at all of ideas. Why would anyone pay for content at all?
Your “solution” means no one can make a living doing creative things. The current system has flaws that can be fixed. “No system at all” is worse for literally everyone involved, both creators and consumers of said content.
You should stop publicly felating yourself over how unshackled your mind is, since this idea is so incredibly stupid.
Yeah, I’m going to ignore you after this. You’re too far behind and I can’t be arsed to bring you up to speed.
For everyone else, this commenter clearly doesn’t understand that without copyright and patent laws, hollywood won’t be able to restrict access to their content behind artificial scarcity. Anyone will be allowed to share their movies freely, which will have a direct impact on their bottom line.
This is why corporations like copyright and patent laws. It’s also another example of how useful idiots have been conditioned to work against their own interests and fight anyone who fights back.
Yup, you’ve realized your plan is stupid but decided you’ll act haughty and bow out of the conversation all together to avoid admitting it.
Why would anyone make a movie if they couldn’t at least support the cost of making the giving movie to begin with? Like, try thinking one step through your own idiotic idea.
