      It looks like they’ll be doing a live stream every Thursday evening.

      Tonight’s was great. I learned a lot. Like JFK didn’t kill himself. I never ever considered that he might have been assassinated.

      It’s a brand, a name. It’s not “IP”. There is no such thing as intellectual property, it’s a manipulative term.

      That being said, agree with the sentiment! This is great 😊

        People arguing against IP either have never created anything, or have their “creative” endeavours backed by family wealth.

          Tbh I agree with the general spirit of what they are saying but IP is obviously a valid legal construct and wishing it wasn’t doesn’t change that, and I didn’t really appreciate being "well aCkshULly"d so I hit the down arrow anyway lol

          What the fuck are you even talking about? “Intellectual property” is a term pushed by corporations and their lawyers to lump together very different legal regimes like copyright, trademark, regional indications or patents, under one supposedly common name. Doing this really has the main advantage of making it possible to use the language of theft when talking about things that can be infinitely copied, and therefore can’t be stolen. “Stolen IP” makes about as much sense as “unauthorised colour”.
