A quotation from Maria Popova

Somewhere, some rights-holder — in this case, Kultur Video — decided it was better for the world that no one see the interview online than that people see it and no one profit from it. This, right here, is the deepest, saddest brokenness of current thinking on intellectual “property” as a wealth of humanity’s greatest intellectual and creative treasures rot in the clenched talons of rights-holders unable to monetize their properties and unwilling to make them available for free. As long as we continue to place commercial profit above cultural profit, especially when it comes to archival materials and cultural preservation, we are doomed to a future bitterly divorced from its past.

Maria Popova (b. 1983) Bulgarian-American essayist, author, critic [Мария Попова]

Todays FOSS Drama served to you by @Codeberg

Tl;dr: Codeberg wants to exclude "vibed"/" LLM'd projects from its platform by means of TOU, hilarity ensues.

https://codeberg.org/Codeberg/org/pulls/1253#issuecomment-19820434

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49003386 (via, also some discussion)

Adding one here: Burden of proof and how do you sufficiently prove or refute the "vibed" nature of any given work without falling to arbitrary / unpredictable results.
One more argument for self-hosting.

Also interesting to projects such as #bizzfed or #nolto both of which would likely or clearly be banned from the platform now.

Intellectual Property: Labor's Claim Under Scrutiny

Philosophers question if labor alone justifies intellectual property rights. A new view called 'productive capacities' is proposed.

New philosophical talks are questioning if the work someone does should automatically give them ownership of ideas. This is a big change from old ideas.

@law #LawFedi Following the post above, in an act of shameless self-promotion I published an article on fanfiction earlier in 2022 - check out the article on my open access page:

http://oars.uos.ac.uk/2056/

I'm always interested in opinions about fanfiction - especially whether it should be permitted, but strictly non-commercial? And are there other issues with Real Person Fics?
