I'm for some basic copyright and patent stuff to stimulate innovation, but copyright infringement isn't stealing.
Yeah I agree - but you don't go to pirate bay to get a "copy" of something unless you don't want to pay for it.
Nobody would create if they couldn't guarantee they had sole rights to that creation.
Proof: Before we had copyrights, innovation was close to zero, almost anything that was invented was done in isolation and heavily guarded, leading to little improvement.
I'll take a copyright system with some abusers over an environment where anything can be stolen anytime so there's no incentive to create any day.
Of course this guy does not like society. He built an entire platform that is designed to steal copyrighted materials.
Without copyright, we wouldn't have such a plethora of inventions and works of art. To function with so much innovation, we must let its creators profit from it.
He is, by definition, a thief, and his opinion on society is to make one where everything can be stolen (which is basically what Marxism is, stealing property from its owners and redistributing it).
On Thursday, NDP leader Rachel Notley said she rejected the premier’s new restrictions allowing the unvaccinated to partake in Christmas gatherings, calling his rules politically motivated rather than evidence-based.
I love how they quote the candidate that lost the election in the article, the one who doesn't carry a mandate.
These upper-city-crusters don't get that Albertans fucking hate restrictions. They only thrive in the liberal epicentres. Nearly everywhere else in Alberta these pinkos have been punted out.
Remember that logical formations are just mathematical statements. Truth values rarely easily conform to logical notation. The trick is that because human language is sticky and messy, people use it to duck and weave around logical predicate logic.
Well NASA reports on mean temperature data which shows there has been an increase over the past 140 years of one degree celsius.
Don't worry about the future just look at the past. It has been increasing more quickly recently than it has close to 140 years ago when we started measuring, so it is increasing for sure.
Now, is it going to cause a catastrophe? Probably not. At the current rate, it would take another 60 years or so to get another degree, and one degree isn't going to raise sea level fast enough to do any real damage. If it, for example, raises sea level so that some coastal properties are enveloped - they have 60 years to move, so it's not really that bad.
That said, it is a problem, but it's sort of peaking since human population has started to plateau, and most of the biggest old polluters stopped doing the really destructive stuff back in the 80s (burning crude oil/coal etc). We do need to make changes - but it's not anywhere near the level of critical mass some people are making it out to be.
Most don't admit it, but the Japanese are probably some of the most racist people in the world. It's not really their fault - their culture is based around isolationism, so they shun outsiders as an inherent part of their culture.
That's right, an arguably racist post with 19 likes.
BOOM, time article. Hate everywhere. Better dispatch the thought police.
