  • I’ve always felt that it should be the lifetime of the creator and if there’s no heir established to carry the reigns of the IP - then public domain. Companies like Disney love to lobby and push that number and have pushed that number to ridiculous lengths so that it’s like 500 years (exaggerated since we know it’s like 90+).

    Because say the creator dies, they have not picked a heir or that they don’t have anyone to entrust with, with their IP. It gets funneled through the state’s laws of inestate succession.

    However, what we mostly have seen is when an owner does give up the rights and it’s in the hands of greedy mongrels like Disney. What happens is that the IP is just in a cycle of re-release hell just to keep whatever trademark or copyright alive, doesn’t matter about the quality which is usually shit.

    And in the video games industry, we’ve seen copyrights to games that will never see the light of day. Copyrights and IP rights get hot potato’ed all the time because there’s so many people involved that it complicates things whenever a creator dies or vice versa. It’s why we haven’t seen digital releases for No One Lives Forever 1 and 2.

    So, copyright has unnecessarily made things complex to where IPs are just used as extensive methods of profit, some of which aren’t even being directed to the original creators. Which makes me feel like copyright should just be the lifetime of the creator and then outsourced to public domain.



  • When you’re going around on EVERY. SINGLE. MICROSOFT. THREAD. to say “GO ON LINUX! IT MAKES YOU HARD IN YOUR PANTS!” YOU are by and large, being a marketer. Just because you aren’t getting paid for it or aren’t directly affiliated, doesn’t remove that ability that you’re going around advertising for this product.

    Bit weird to be so defensive on this and re-purpose what marketing is when you just outlined what marketing is like.

    No I won’t direct my anger at Microsoft, don’t you tell me shit. I’m directing my anger at you and the OP because of shit like this with the whole Linux parade that always happens whenever anything is reported about Microsoft.

    I would’ve thought that Linux usage going over 1% for once in a long time, would’ve been enough to shut you guys the fuck up. Guess not. Gotta inflate numbers. Gotta promote GROWTH!

    So sick of you Linux clowning fanboys parading your free advertising. Bit weird of you to justify that, ain’t it? Bit weird.

    Stop raping people’s free choice already, just stop. You don’t see Windows users telling Linux users to go use Windows, do you? No, you don’t.

    This is what being a Linux fanboy is probably like



  • It’s not that, it’s mainly because they’re tired of being browbeaten and having their freewill raped by someone who is basically being just yet another marketer. A marketer that is pushing a free product. To them, it’s just one more obnoxious annoying ad that they have to deal with and block.

    We fucking get it, Linux is there, they know. They aren’t switching in the numbers that you’re to meet, mr.free marketer. They just want you to shut the fuck up and leave them alone.

    And that automatically puts you in the wrong everytime. So take your pompous attitude and choke on it.







  • I’ve not been to jail or prison in my life. Someone at one time or another has ran afoul with the law and broken justice system. I on the other hand, haven’t. Granted, there’s things I know that I did that would’ve seen me at least serve a handful of years but I hadn’t been charged and the statue of limitations have long fallen off so I can’t be touched anyways.

    All I’ve ever gotten in my life is just traffic violations that I had to pay for, that’s it. But no prison time for me.
