gohbgl··on What Could Have Entered the Public Domain on January 1, 2018
Copyright has distorted our culture since its inception. Artists subconsciously self-censor their work because in todays culture remixing, adapting and reusing other art is classified as theft.

gohbgl··on Oracle refuses to accept pro-Google “fair use” verdict in API battle
Well isn't that a coincidence. Extracting money through state granted limited monopoly rights and lobbying for big government contracts at the same time. Oracle is really living the crony capitalist dream.
