“If not to make a profit, why else would a business exist?”
Why not both? All businesses are all inherently predatory because they exist to make profit (which is theft). A union is like a condom. it doesn’t matter if the other person can be trusted, it’s safer with one than without one.
art is subjective. there is art in everything. to limit the definition of art is fascist in nature because it abides by the fascist principle that some fundamental things are more worthy to be considered valid than others (that’s not a real human. that’s not real food. that’s not real literature)
it’s landlordism for art. the hungry maw of capitalism will not be satiated until everyone is having their value extracted at every given moment and no one owns anything except a handful of people at the very top. They would make you rent your clothes if it was possible.
They got competition from the united states government already being there since at least 2008

It’s also the same argument that people use for things like changing traffic lights to LED. Because in VERY RARE instances the old bulbs are better (like for keeping snow off of them). “but SOMETIMES” yeah but objectively speaking it’s just better the other way. Just like abolishing copyright would be better overall…
“Copyright is his only recourse” and it will still be unable to be utilized. if bethesda WANTED they could just say “fuck off” and tie the artist up in court until they died because a corporation will outlive a person. Their recourse was ACTUALLY only the court of public opinion, which WAS utilized and is what worked.…
“If copyright law did not exist, there would be literally nothing stopping megacorps from doing whatever they wanted”
they literally already do. as evidenced here. there has been no legal motion or consequences for bethesda. nor will there be. whoever has the most money has the most rights and they can wield that as a…
And the point of saying things like “abolish copyright” and “abolish the police” and “abolish work” is to put the thought in people’s heads. I’m sure the first person who said “we should execute the king” in france or the first person to say “we should overthrow the tsar” or the first person to say “we should…
“the onus of showing the mechanisms by which your views will produce a societal benefit is on you”
“For example, Michelangelo was paid 400 ducats to make David, about $100,000 USD in today’s money. He was paid 3000 ducats (~$750,000) to paint the Sistine Chapel. Da Vinci was commissioned by a wealthy patron to paint Mia Donna Lisa, and would have been paid for it if his perfectionism hadn’t made him take a…
“make sure your perch is made of something sturdier than wishes and fairy dust.”
“private productive property”
“This says more about you than anything else.”
literally all the problems you list with this revolve around the fact that people need money to survive. so clearly we need to violently abolish capitalism. art thrives in the absence of forced currency. the only reason copyright “needs” to exist is due to capitalism. and it is wielded as a cudgel against the…
“reform”
When a fan does this in fan projects it’s all lawyers and lawsuits but when a corporation does it they just get a wagging finger of disapproval. And this is why copyright should be abolished because it’s not like it protects small artists anyways.
i think it’s because we’re collectively getting older and our mouths are getting more ruined by american “food” so we need heat to feel something

this movie sucked. happy gilmore has aged way better than it. if you don’t like my take then watch a video essay that says what I say but way longer.
