AI is ignoring so many IP laws while the US government continues to push and collude with its cartels, all the while making sure the technology bubble is all AI and is all US centered. The EU certainly needs to do something, but I imagine many in the EU don't want to put their own IP at risk.

Roll back to 20 year copyright on media. Absolute bullshit for grandkids to be authorities on works created by people they didnt know and had no hand in creating.

Please do, only a handful of wealthy people actually benefit from IP laws. The Americans defending it claim to be creative but are somehow unable to imagine anything better than intentional monopolies.

THIS was an appropriate time to be using falsifying-quotes:

the "nuclear" option.

Unfortunately, Netanyahu's nearly-certainly weighing the actual nuclear option on Iran, then ALL Muslim-countries, the minute ANYone retaliates ( mass-shooting, nuclear style ).

Which means that keeping things clear, differentiating between "nuclear" & nuclear, would be wise.

this does get me. What is the us leverage at this point? Why is any coutry going along at this point with our crazy ip laws?

I approve the "Cory Doctorow's law".

That's exactly the point made by Cory Doctorow during his talk at the Chaos Communication Congress 2025: https://media.ccc.de/v/39c3-a-post-american-enshittification-resistant-internet

Europe should revoke US privileges that came along with free market agreements. Tarifs broke the agreements, so Europe let's stop complying on your side too.

Certainly an interesting prospect. Good to see you hear on the fediverse too!
