According to videogame patent lawyer Kirk Sigmon, the USPTO granting Nintendo these latest patents isn’t just a moment of questionable legal theory. It’s an indictment of American patent law.
“Broadly, I don’t disagree with the many online complaints about these Nintendo patents,” said Sigmon, whose opinions do not represent those of his firm and clients. “They have been an embarrassing failure of the US patent system.”
Music does not need copyright to exist. Man you are dense.
Where did I say that it did?
I’m just trying to picture what this world would actually look like, and it seems shit.
People will still create music, but without having any sense of ownership over it whatsoever, there is zero incentive to distribute it.
Whether you believe in private property or not doesn’t change the fact that artists will always feel a sense of ownership over their creations
Man you are a lying bootlicker.
So no one created and distributed music throughout the history of mankind?
You don’t have to picture it, it happened. Also, the majority of art and music is never sold or distributed.
Just admit you are young and dumb capitalist that thinks art = money when in reality art = expression. At least then you can be honest and people won’t waste their time talking to you.
Why are you people always so fucking rude when you’re shit is challenged in any way?
Look at my other comments in this thread if you care to actually understand my position. I never even suggested that people would stop making music.
I even said that it could maybe work if we weren’t in an ultra capitalist society. But we are, so completely getting rid of the concept of IP is a bad idea.
I read all you comments. You don’t even have a foundation in any of this. Just a little shit talker who licks the boots of your corporate overlords
We live in an ultra capitalist society which is perverting art and sciences for money. All the while defended by idiots like you.
