@nixCraft alternatively, "copyright all the things and make a byzantine 'rights' system like the hellscape that is music licensing" is ALSO not the way. Information should be accessible to all. Aaron Swartz died for this and y'know what? I will too, if that's what it takes. Sorry not sorry.

@codinghorror @nixCraft Jeff, as you know, there is an enormous gigantic dissymmetry between common openness fighters and absurdly financed tech giants, so it's unfair that copyright can be enforced to social activists (like individuals, OSS projects...) but not to mega corps because just piles of money. It's not byzantine to fight for an equal system and same opportunities for persons and companies.

Hoping this is an hyperbole. If you really plan , please don't, being dead has the sad effect of not being able to argue here anymore... And that would be... terrible. -
