What I want is consistency, either apply the law equally and fairly or reform the whole system. Nobody, especially not big business, should be getting special carve-outs to be exempt from copyright infringement outside of ‘fair use’ considerations.

In my ideal world, IP law would be framed to protect novel ideas just long enough for inventors or creators to capitalize on their ideas and prevent outright 1:1 copying without any sort of innovative or transformational changes. It would also discourage squatting on things like patents- patent squatting and the like should lead to losing rights.

What is it with the ads for this site infested with sponsored items and ai slop? I’ve seen a few in the last couple days.
