Monday Morning So Icey.

Brrr

Dennis Villeneuve is killing the game right now.

"Also intellectual property is fiction."

That's some mighty fine moral authority. Could use a bit more reason, though. Or any at all.

I'm not. Your argument seems to be that essentially once intellectual property (that results in your sensory experience) has been shared enough times, that creator loses their rights to ever having created it or at the very least being able to control it's usage.

"TLDR It's not yours Ric Ocasek, it became ours when you put it into our lives."

See, that's what's childish…. at a certain point, Ric was not a successful artist but through hard work he became one. Once he's reached a certain level of success does he have to just surrender his artistic rights because he's already made it?

Giving existing creative content less protection from infringement for the sake of potential, not-yet-existing creative content seems like a pretty dire plan.

I'm really disheartened at the mercenary tone people take on now when discussing intellectual property rights. I think if they actually were creating content instead of just consuming it, they'd change their tune mighty quickly.

I can't imagine ever making a video on something important, let alone this nonsense.

Can I just not see it because it looks painfully unfunny?

I'm unapologetically Jai Courtneyist.

Fantastic!

His synth scores didn't do much technically speaking, but he always built things around a simple and insanely catchy melody.

That's a big theme with Romero's zombie movies too. A truly external threat can make people act right and put aside petty bullshit very quickly.

The main theme is really fantastic, very ahead of its time.
