@koyu@koyu.space @izalia you cant restrict the uses of public data. when you publish something, people get to read and process it. the power lies in the originator when they choose to publish or not publish. i don’t get to blog and say “you can read it for personal use, but you can’t pull quote it in a commercial article”. that’s not how publishing works.

@sneak @koyu @izalia But you do get to say that your articles may not be copied in their entirety. Copyright allows for such *legal* restrictions, even though there is no *technical* way to restrict data use.

That use of data once a user has a copy cannot be restricted is an argument against DRM, but not against licencing.

@aidalgol @koyu@koyu.space @izalia copyright is a fiction that was invented to satisfy and protect a commercial industry. i do not recognize copyrights or ownership of information in any way whatsoever. they are a fairytale told by a state, not a real thing.

@sneak @koyu @izalia In other words, "fuck everyone, I'll do what I want."
