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]
Post (2012-04-30), “Orson Welles: A Rare 1960 Interview,” The Marginalian

It's well known by both sides of the spectrum in #politics, that the #US has a de-facto ruling #oligarchy in its tech and financial sectors despite all the democratic claims. An oligarchy able to control the political system, its legislation and the application of justice through their sheer possession of #money. It's control over public #institutions is undisputed... to the extent that, in daily practice, it is bound by no legislation, no intellectual #property. It embodies the very definition and practice of #anarchocapitalism, just not so formally stated as to explicitly reject the rule of #law. Appearances must be kept, but only to a certain extent.

#LatinAmerica has its own, endemic, oligarchy problem too; not coming out of its local tech sector, but from the #drugs dealing, human #trafficking, #smuggling, #prostitution, and murder-by-contract businesses instead. Because that is what they truly are: #businesses... organizations conducting particular forms of #trade, for the sake of personal #profit. Those oligarchs, just like its american counterparts, share the exact same anarchocapitalist view that the law shouldn't restrict the freedom to do business of any sort. Even if that business ends up with a couple of bullets inside the cranium of some 18 year old kid. Accidents can always happen at the job.

The enterprise in itself always had a direct link to organized #crime, not the least because of the identical nature of their entrepreneurial activity. And that, by necessity, means that very similar practices must take place in each. It's truly not surprising that every "fully legally compliant" #enterprise is, behind closed doors, hiding plenty of illegal practices within... from #taxevasion thanks to carefully selected international banks and falsified accounting records, to financial #fraud designed to deceive investors and shareholders.

In certain moments, when this symmetry becomes specially obvious, one side and the other can truly and visibly overlap. This is how a sizable group of american business men made their initial fortunes trafficking alcohol during times of #prohibition, in the 20s and 30s, only to become the established entrepreneurial class of later years. Now, the direct successors of that group of oligarchs are in Silicon Valley at the moment, busy at the task of physically destroying the local and global environment, along with millions of old and out of print books for AI training purposes. The law, as we can imagine, has nothing to say about that.

A quotation from Teddy Roosevelt

We are face to face with new conceptions of the relations of property to human welfare, chiefly because certain advocates of the rights of property as against the rights of men have been pushing their claims too far. The man who wrongly holds that every human right is secondary to his profit must now give way to the advocate of human welfare, who rightly maintains that every man holds his property subject to the general right of the community to regulate its use to whatever degree the public welfare may require it.

Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919) American politician, statesman, conservationist, writer, US President (1901-1909)
Speech (1910-08-31), “The New Nationalism,” Osawatomie, Kansas

Study reveals how much carbon damage would cost corporations if they paid for their emissions

"The world’s corporations produce so much climate change pollution, it could eat up about 44% o f t h e i r p r o f i t s if they had to pay damages for it, according to a study by economists of nearly 15,000 public companies."

The “corporate carbon damages” from those publicly owned companies analyzed — a fraction of all the corporations — probably runs in the trillions of dollars globally and in the hundreds of billions for American firms, one of the study authors estimated in figures that were not part of the published research. That’s based on the cost of carbon dioxide pollution that the United States government has proposed."
