While I understand where you're coming from and the hope you may have in copyright, we don't agree. I firmly believe copyrights are a cancer, an aberration that can only worsen things, especially in the age of Internet.

The paternity right (that's how what's you referring to in your last sentence is called in France) may not be completely harmful, but history proves it's useless imo.

Copyrights don't do shit for controlling sources and trust on Internet. You are mistakening things. Copyright is a framework of laws to enforce rarity and property on immaterial things. Patent is another way to it much more reasonably. Trademark is a third way. None of those is worth anything.

Imposing rarity and property on things that can be copied and transfered freely is a cancer for mankind.

Now there is what in France is called paternity of a work. Unfortunately it's tied to copyrights in the law, but it's still its own thing. I don't care much for it. It didn't existed for ages and it didn't prevented mankind from creating all kind of stuff.

Timezone make sense because it makes time mean something in real life. Midday is the time when you lunch, and the middle of the day. 7 or 8 pm is the evening, you get your dinner. Etc. Time is a tool used by people because it's useful.

Now you are an engineer and you need to deal with timezones. Well, fucking do your job I'd say.

The problem with programmer is that they always try to change user habits rather than simply doing their job.

Solving technical problem is what an engineer does. Asking people to do things differently so that the engineer doesn't have to solve the problem is what exactly?

You are a fool if you believe copyright would ever protect anyone but mega corporation and rich bourgeoisie. It never ever protected the poor artists and creators, save for those one or two examples you will certainly provide to counter my argument.

You are a fool if you think copyrights can protect anyone but the big corporations.

Copyright are a cancer for mankind, they should disappear.

You are mistaken. I do hate copyrights like the plague they are, because they are chains for knowledge and culture. And I do not hate AI, but I hate corporations for taking technology, progress and their benefit to themselves and to oppress society, and this thanks to the secret they keep and copyrights.

Sharing of knowledge and culture is the solution, not the problem.

You do not. Or we have a different definition for owning.

I had exactly the same experience. The manager answered me "wait, I can actually raise you! Here it is!". I merely had to be a dick like them for them to do something. I still left.

Loneliness seems more connected to late stage capitalism to me. Individualism has been pushed too far. The quest for a glorified independancy and the monetizatization of everything is destroying social links. There are many other things that capitalist culture favor, and they're all as damaging to socialisation and society.

I wish copyrights will die to this technology! <3
