Welcome to Lemmy! Just by being here you’re about to find out (whether you like it or not!) just how viable it is to replace (almost) everything in your life with open source alternatives, it’s just seems to be part of the (awesome) culture around here. Enjoy!

Why does Thaler want to assign copyright to a non-human so badly, when he could simply take the credit himself?

We can see he made references to the fact that Corporations are considered people (fucking citizens united) in his arguments to the court.

Ohhhh, you!

…while they figure out how to exempt all their buddies’ businesses…
