Not without some seriously invasive warrants! Ones that will never be granted for an intellectual property case.

Intellectual property is an outdated concept. It used to exist so wealthier outfits couldn't copy your work at scale and muscle you out of an industry you were championing.

It simply does not work the way it was intended. As technology spreads, the barrier for entry into most industries wherein intellectual property is important has been all but demolished.

i.e. 50 years ago: your song that your band performed is great. I have a recording studio and am gonna steal it muahahaha.

Today: "anyone have an audio interface I can borrow so my band can record, mix, master, and release this track?"

Intellectual property ignores the fact that, idk, Issac Newton and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz both independently invented calculus at the same time on opposite ends of a disconnected globe. That is to say, intellectual property doesn't exist.

Ever opened a post to make a witty comment to find someone else already made the same witty comment? Yeah. It's like that.

Spoken by someone who has never had something you've worked years on, be stolen.

What was “stolen” from you and how?

[–] foggy@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Spoken like someone who is having trouble admitting they're standing on the shoulders of Giants.

I don't expect a nuanced response from you, nor will I waste time with folks who can't be bothered to respond in any form beyond attack, nor do I expect you to watch this

Intellectual property died with the advent of the internet. It's now just a way for the wealthy to remain wealthy.
