Recursive attribution (e.g. a profitable video used 10 seconds of a remix of a song ultimately belonging to xyz) would be fair. It should be easy for YouTube engineers to engineer profit sharing.

Say hypothetically that the song writer gets paid 100% every time their song gets played 100% in any video, why does copyright care at all? It's right to safeguard the primary creator's intellectual property to the extent of allowing them to claim share in profits, but it's strange to use copyright to restrict use.

It's also easier said than done to fend off intelligent and determined legal adversaries.

Which is why we invented laws and legal systems to codify such things.

Did you commit a crime, yes/no? Let's bring it to trial.

Refusing to even put a president on trial is more black and white, because it's a clear "no, not illegal" without even discussion.

Apoptosis is when single cells die on purpose for the development of an organism. I don't think it's unreasonable to at least hypothesize this extending to intelligent entities. Humans aren't xylem cells, but perhaps Zorklovians from planet Fleptar do this.

Or, you know, Alan Turing eating the apple. I think he was a pretty smart guy.

This is wrong. You can even get a mod for Minecraft which implements quantum mechanics.

urbanization not sprawl though

FWIW communism speaks more to ownership of the means of production than home ownership.

Home ownership doesn’t produce anything.

Even without leaping to a hypothetical economic system it’s possible to allow owning one home for your residence and not another for renting out.

I don’t advocate anything here particularly
