okay here’s my real true honest thoughts. i’m glad james is being rightly exposed HOWEVER. it sucks to me that hbomb wasn’t able to talk about the flat out wrong shit he says almost all the time without making the video longer than it already was. i’m going to assume that at some point he’s just gonna nuke the channel bc there is….no going back from this really? but what’s gonna suck about that is no one is going to be able to go through all those videos and correct the lies and misrepresentations he made. like, a lot of peoples whole opinions are going to still be based on that under the assumption that it’s just a better persons work. and maybe a lot of them are and he just never fact checked shit! but it still sucks that he was able to disseminate so much of it and it’s essentially a blip on the radar in light of the plagiarism shit. are people going to know he flat out lied about some 60s movie they’re likely to never watch? like idk. does he deserve it yes of course. is there WAY MORE to talk about with his work and the inaccuracies thereof that are likely gonna get swept to the wayside and forgotten completely? yeah probably and that kinda sucks EDIT pls check latest reblog, todd in the shadows made a companion fact-checking video for somertons channel

#myposts #idk i lowkey hope someone swoops in and in the fallout of this makes another video #going move over this aspect but you never know #also i think perhaps the video was maybe . a little too precious of intellectual property rights #that’s not to say plagiarism is okay but like. cmon w the AI stuff #at the least it could have been said better #hbomberguy #james somerton

not to be IMMENSELY controversial but I would like to voice a thought that I've had for exactly a year now: Intellectual Property isn't that good. It's kinda bad, actually, and I think we need to stop acting like it's lived up to the expectations the band and it's marketing set for it

If I may be so bold as to elaborate: parx peaked at fandom. This was the first album that really had something to SAY. A thru C, and even double dare, were all classic teenage angst, and entertainment was a delightful breakup album, but fandom decided to take a swing at parx's infamously toxic fanbase with a side of recovering from the aforementioned breakup. It was also a pretty marked shift in parx's sound: each release has been sonically distinct, and you can travel a pretty clear evolution from the sound in airplane conversations to the one in fandom, but the shift between entertainment and fandom was HUGE (and controversial). The band was experimenting and was taking on more serious and heavier topics, and it pulled that off flawlessly.

Greatest hits felt almost like a natural continuation of fandom. Awsten goes to therapy and is on the path to getting better! It's an honest exploration of mental health and the difficulties of ever-increasing fame, it remains experimental yet delightful, it's really everything a person can want in a parx album. 10/10, fuckin banger.

But IP? Its lead single has some of the worst lyricism the band has e v e r released, and although it's sound feels like a natural evolution from fandom and GH, it just feels... lacking? static? two best friends gets real repetitive real quick, and the album is just a bit of a slog to get through. I've tried and tried and tried, but the only songs that ever stick out to me (other for funeral grey for just being bad, soz) are real super dark and ritual, and BOY HOWDY does ritual also get real repetitive real quick, and also have some lackluster lyricism. And what does IP really have to say? It's not an honest exploration of anything, really: not mental health, not the fandom, not fame, nothing. Perhaps it can be seen as an exploration of falling in love? In pining? But fandom did that better as a side theme. For an album that Awsten was touting as being meticulously crafted and their best work, it's clearly neither one.

Idk, IP just left a lot to be desired, and as the tour wraps up and the next album approaches, I'm hoping to see and hear better

In case no one has ever told you, copyright is your most important asset as an author. If you don’t trust me, maybe you’ll listen to Dolly Parton. She turned down Elvis himself when he asked to walk away with half her rights. The story I’m about to share is a little technical, but bear with me. In my early days of publishing – so just a few years ago – a Big Publication accepted a story of mine. I was excited. Then I did something few writers do. I read their publication contract before signing. Was I bored? No. I used to be a lawyer before I became a writer.

I really disagree with your suggestion that people should make an effort to change the copyright laws. Because to me, it just sounds like you are asking people to do an impossible task while also ignoring the fact that large companies like Disney have been lobbying Congress to tilt the copyright laws to their advantage. In addition, your posts comes across as if we should just be contempt with the current state of the laws in spite of all the flaws. Heck even you yourself even stated in an old post that the current laws are flawed and far from perfect. So tell us, what should we actually do given the current circumstances?

I agree that making an effort to change the copyright laws is very hard. I agree that it has a very small chance of success. However, very small is still a non-zero chance of success - it is just very small. If enough voters push their representatives to make legal changes, laws can be made. Doing things like posting angrily on the internet has a success chance of zero. Talk is cheap. Change is hard to effect. If I want to effect change, it only makes sense to put effort into the thing that has a chance of succeeding. If you can think of an action that has a higher chance of success than lobbying to change the laws, please share. I would be happy to participate.

My partner told me about how EA won't let American McGee make the third Alice game but still won't let him have his IP, leading him to retire and not want anything to do with the game anymore, and honestly, that pisses me off so much

It sucks to me that companies, be it for animated shows or games, will screw over people like artists and developers and not allow them to see out their vision, but still keep the IPs locked away forever despite not planning on doing anything with them?

Imo I feel like it should be made illegal for companies to hoard IPs like that. Cuz it sucks how creators get all their hard work stolen away, and they can't even make something out of it once they leave the companies that screwed them over.

Hmm so turns out I have a lot of feelings about intellectual property and corporate ownership.

The live action reviews are messy because they've made assumptions about what is canon. I've been through reboots before so I'm used to Eras of Canon (like the Star Wars extended universe or Trek timelines)...

Garrett Sander is the creator of Monster High but he didn't get to decide what was canon at the time due to corporate and now he's not employed by Mattel and has no say over the characters in G3.

Put simply, Clawdeen isn't a lesbian in G1 canon because corporate never allowed it and G3 canon will be whatever Mattel decides even if it goes against a character design basic by Sanders because he didn't truly own any intellectual property created during company employment and has now been shut out of it (probably with no royalties whatsoever).

I've long felt this type of IP ownership is disgusting. Carter Bryant was struggling to pay hospital bills while his creation: Bratz, not revamped, the literal original designs, are selling like hotcakes because he doesn't technically own his work.

And while the monster high tag fights over whether Cleo/Deuce or meangirl!Torelei is "canon", I'm just getting more and more annoyed that "canon" was never Sander's to decide and isn't going to pay his bills. He's not even being sent the repros of his original designs. Mattel can do whatever they want with the Monster High characters and worse they can milk it without the creator getting a dime.

So that's my contribution to the discourse: Please look beyond the characters at how the sausage is made.

If fans decide to campaign for anything from Mattel, please can it be to allow their artists royalties on their work.

The law is an important part of protecting intellectual property and protecting creators' rights to their original works. Fair use provides some exceptions to copyright protection,

Brazil helps approve treaty on indigenous rights in patent systems

At a conference chaired by Brazil, the 193 member states of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), part of the United Nations system, approved on May 24, by consensus, its Treaty on Intellectual Property, Genetic Resources, and Associated Traditional Knowledge.

Once it enters into force with 15 contracting parties, the new regulation will require patent applicants to disclose the origin of genetic resources and traditional knowledge used in their inventions — medicines, cosmetics, and seeds, for example — to combat biopiracy.

This is the first WIPO treaty to include specific provisions about indigenous peoples and local communities. For decades, they have claimed participation in the profits of large companies that develop products based on local knowledge and customs.

Although genetic resources in their natural state, such as medicinal plants or animal breeds, cannot be directly protected as intellectual property, inventions developed using these resources meet the requirements for obtaining protection, generally through patents.

every time I see a passionate defense of IP law an angel loses its wings
