If you still think #intellectualProperty is for defending artists rights, consider that Caty Parry is unable to sue the White House for using her music in war propaganda video. She doesn't own the rights to her music, they belong to Latimus Music.

#IP is for the exact opposite than what is stated. It's there to dispossess the authors on a massive scale.

Ad-funded piracy outlasts every enforcement window. https://ppc.land/doj-seizes-1-000-pirate-domains-as-colombia-blocks-1-140-more/ #Piracy #CopyrightInfringement #CyberSecurity #DigitalRights #IntellectualProperty
