Personal opinion on "The Case For Copyright Reform"

My opinion on "The Case For Copyright Reform"

Moral Rights Unchanged

I agree with "Give credit where credit is due". Nobody should be allowed to impersonate anyone else, and the author should always be credited for their work.

Free Non-Commercial Sharing

I may be biased, but I believe that unless someone attempts to profit from sharing copyrighted content, then it shouldn't be in anyone's interest what a private citizen shares.

20 Years Of Commercial Monopoly

I don't agree with this. I believe that if an author makes a work, then it should be theirs until they choose to share it with others

Registration After 5 Years

I believe that copyright should be granted as soon as the author begins working on their work, but if the author cannot be found, the work should be free to use.

Free Sampling

I fully support this.

A Ban on DRM

I am opinionated on this, but DRM should be banned. It should not be left to companies to decide what people can do with the products they purchase. It should be entirely up to the individual to decide what to do with it.

My opinion on piracy overall

I am a person who pirates things on the internet. If I want to try something on my computer, such as a game or software, I won't buy it right away and hope I like it. I'll pirate it first, try it out, and then buy it if I like it or find it useful. I don't want to spend my money on something that I won't find worthwhile, that is buggy, or that is completely broken. I also oppose DRM systems that companies force on people who buy their products or service.

Example 1: Product becomes unusable, if DRM fails.

Here I can bring denuvo as an example. Someone simply forgot to renew a domain, and as a result, the DRM in the game failed the test, rendering the games unplayable.

Example 2: Limited quality.

Here I can bring netflix as an example. People are unable to watch content that they have paid for in the highest quality due to DRM. It all comes down to the software-level DRM not allowing streaming above 720p.

Ten commandments from Netiquette

Kujutis
Know where you are in cyberspace This, in my opinion, is the biggest problem on the internet. The internet is made up of many different people, not just one. Individuals are unaware that there are various communities with various types of people and hobbies. There are places for smart people to act stupid and places for stupid people to act smart. Every single one of such places has their own unwritten rules and joining them takes time. As the saying goes: "Lurk more - it's never enough"     My experience I usually see people on the internet saying that places I visit are terrible because someone called them stupid or whatever. It's very common to call people out when they make mistakes or have opposing opinions here, but it's an issue for visitors from other places. They are accustomed to downvoting posts with which they disagree, resulting in a hivemind of like-minded people. Comments they agree with are displayed above, while those they disagree with are not se

Online censorship and privacy

Online censorship in Estonia I didn't know this, but Estonia has already been blocking gambling websites that have not been approved by EMTA (Maksu- ja Tolliamet) since 2010, with over 1700 domains now on the list Because of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Estonia has now begun censoring Russian TV channels and websites. I never expected Estonia to do something like this. I oppose the war and believe it should be ended as soon as possible, but I also despise the idea of censorship. This act of censorship, in my opinion, is unacceptable and may mark the beginning of a period in which filtering content that is not supported by the government is acceptable. We could end up like China, where people have no free will and are only permitted to think what the government wants people to think. Mozilla Firefox and privacy Firefox always advertises itself as being privacy-protective, but this is not the case by default. Firefox makes a lot of background connections by default, which reveal

Short comparison of two linux distributions

Slackware Patrick Volkerding created Slackware, a Linux distribution, in 1993. It was based on the Softlanding Linux System and is the oldest distribution maintained. Slackware aims to be the most "Unix-like" Linux distribution in terms of design stability and simplicity. It makes as minimal changes as possible to upstream software packages and aims not to anticipate use cases or preclude user decisions. Slackware, unlike most modern Linux distributions, does not offer automatic dependency resolution of software packages. For setup and management, it relies on plain text files and a small set of shell scripts. Slackware is available for the IA-32 and x86_64 platforms, including an ARM port. Gentoo Linux Gentoo Linux was initially created by Daniel Robbins under the name Enoch Linux. Later, the name "Gentoo" was chosen to reflect the possible performance improvements of machine-specific optimization. The goal of Gentoo Linux was to create a hardware-aware distributio
