AI is ignoring so many IP laws while the US government continues to push and collude with its cartels, all the while making sure the technology bubble is all AI and is all US centered. The EU certainly needs to do something, but I imagine many in the EU don't want to put their own IP at risk.
Understandably if you ask me. Instead of abolishing copyright laws we should just quiet quit on protecting US intellectual property and let everyone get away with infringing us copyright and give back the peoples access to to open seas 🏴☠️.
Roll back to 20 year copyright on media. Absolute bullshit for grandkids to be authorities on works created by people they didnt know and had no hand in creating.
At this point, it’s been pretty well proven that the idea of intellectual property does a lot more harm just in general than any problem it supposedly solves.
You want to end all of the monopolies? Take away the idea that ideas can be owned.
And all of these companies that routinely buy off elections? They can’t compete with free.
All of these medicines which cost ten million dollars per pill? People would LOVE to pay $5 per pill for them.
The idea of intellectual property does NOT spur innovation. That claim is laughable. What it DOES spur is the creation of the least valuable workable solution, and then the smallest possible incremental improvement whenever the patent or copyright is about to run out. It literally PREVENTS useful technologies from coming to market, and prevents the poor(who would rush into many job markets if there weren’t literal IP restrictions on them) from working in many cases.
I do think that creators should get a chance with their creations, be it a character a technology or a drug. I just dont think Mickey Mouse should belong to someone now.
Please do, only a handful of wealthy people actually benefit from IP laws. The Americans defending it claim to be creative but are somehow unable to imagine anything better than intentional monopolies.

THIS was an appropriate time to be using falsifying-quotes:
the "nuclear" option.
Unfortunately, Netanyahu's nearly-certainly weighing the actual nuclear option on Iran, then ALL Muslim-countries, the minute ANYone retaliates ( mass-shooting, nuclear style ).
Which means that keeping things clear, differentiating between "nuclear" & nuclear, would be wise.
Europe should revoke US privileges that came along with free market agreements. Tarifs broke the agreements, so Europe let's stop complying on your side too.
If US companies are going to ignore European sovereignty while also demanding corporate welfare why should Europe be the one to repair the relationship?

You don't need army and nukes to fuck up the USA. All you need is to hit its economy.
andallthat@lemmy.world · 13 pts · 150d
And then there's Trump, who's managing to use the US army to fuck up everyone's economy, including their own. Talk about thinking ouside the box...

It's ok for Mickey Mouse to belong to someone - as a trademark. But the old films should be out of copyright.

this does get me. What is the us leverage at this point? Why is any coutry going along at this point with our crazy ip laws?

That's exactly the point made by Cory Doctorow during his talk at the Chaos Communication Congress 2025: https://media.ccc.de/v/39c3-a-post-american-enshittification-resistant-internet

How about EU doesn't attack anything but rather just repair a broken and outdated relationship?
dumnezero@piefed.social · 26 pts · 150d
Sounds very one sided.

Been trying, seems to have no effect.
I'm down to destroy patents, copyrights and all, I'm against those on principle anyway.

By " repair the relationship", do you mean precision strike the oval office ?
