some rando... who is shadowbanned (or should?). I am reasonably certain. yes... I'm shadow banned; reddit does it. hacker news too? noooo!

I guess nobody has any special right to be heard (yet, shadow-banning is a toxic practice).

indeed, the first step (IMO) towards revising the notion is to recognize that physical (material, tangible) assets inherently work differently than digital assets.

As I understand so far the main reason to seek a revision of the concept of ownership is exactly due to the existence (enabled by internet technology) of digital assets.

copy-pasting is HOW computers work. copy-pasting does not do well in society ruled by the exclusivity-mindset inherent to marketplaces (and their societies) of tangible assets

but what about people getting paid for the invested money of movies made by their ancestors, dead over 50 years ago (and up to more than 100 years ago, whatever is the current copyright term for movies)

do they have a right to enjoy being rewarded for work they didn't do but their ancestors did?

if the intention of those laws was to encourage creativity, how come they're stiffing it more than encouraging without any signs of any government trying to correct the laws to better match their purported intentions?

considering that information is something static (which doesn't change) that describes (is about) how something else is changing

I think that indeed, it is the inherent nature of information to radiate itself, i.e. to share (to shine, to spread)

but what does it mean to destroy the concept of ownership (i.e. the notion of property)

if we take that

> The only way to truly own something, is to either share it or destroy it.

could I argue that then, we would be taking ownership of the concept of ownership??

ahahha... I think this is kind of funny. And I'd admit that it's not very helpful to the goal of revising the very concept of ownership.

my own parent comment is already controversial with many replies and exactly 0 points (at the time of this response)

ownership is a concept in dire need of revision

well yea, because your parents were essentially slaves, the property of higher elite classes. I'm pointing to the class relationship, nothing specific to your parents.

I wonder if such practices were used in schools reserved for royalty and other nobles in the UK

depends on how close you wanna get to the servers, and then the hardware?

I suppose it's a super rare occurrence now, but back when I was starting on this, I would mess up my X server and was forced to fix it from the command line.

I see nothing in that article that says anything about a world view. not in a deep actually useful way. i see shallow fluff.

disagree, the url contextualizes what one's looking at in that other URL.

I wish I could study (and explain) those 19KB of javascript (and including the rest of the locked down software stack taken for granted) as the sheet music that I take them to be from a fully academic music-technological standpoint.

but I don't want a bend over backwards to have to do this. oh well.

I wanna bend over backwards as I do it, from the very hardware (intel x86) all the way to the sound and back down the stack again. going through (or across??) the ADC and DAC cards and all that. I would never finish, so I wouldn't be allowed to start in any typical academic programs.

I think within the academia is the only place this could possibly be brought up.
