#Hollywood appropriates a #meme that’s part of the public domain, markets it, and then sues others for #copyright infringement. Can capitalists still think logically despite their #greed, or is that impossible?

I then tried to attach a tablet to the screen over HDMI to stream Channel 4 and that was thwarted as per screenshot. I'd seen this years ago but had hoped it wasn't still the case.
Plugging the laptop into the HDMI port allowed me to play it. On that basis it's hard to see the justification for the Apple/Android app blocking this really. Especially when they'll typically let you cast. I presume it's for #copyright reasons but as a user experience it's garbage #streaming

#TodayILearned that A24 Films, the makers of the “Backrooms” movie, has been issuing DMCA takedowns on creators that make “backrooms”-themed content.
To be clear: the “backrooms” concept has been around long before the movie. The first mention of it was in a 4chan /x/ creepypasta thread in 2019, made by an anonymous author. NO ONE owns the concept or the word “Backrooms”, as far as I can tell.
A24 is backpedalling on the strikes, blaming it on automated tools gone wild. But this whole thing is just another example of how the copyright strike system benefits large corporations, whether or not they are actually entitled to claim copyright in the first place. It’s strike first, ask questions later—if ever.

Symbolic image of the state of #academic #publishing: The original study does not contain much detail (most certainly not a single word of #humour), and the #replication study is locked up behind a #paywall, on which #impactfactor, #peerreview, #plagiarism, #copyright and #publicationbias are having #popcorn.
