The capital building, crossed by a yellow hazmat tape emblazoned 'DANGER ASBESTOS.' Behind the tape stands a figure in an old-fashioned hazmat suit. In the background are the blown-up faces of a group of grubby, miserable child miners. The capital dome has been replaced with the glaring red eye of HAL 9000 from Kubrick's '2001: A Space Odyssey.'

A Swiss article in which Christophe Germann argues for ending the enforcement of US intellectual property law. It's the first time I've read this perspective in a mainstream news outlet, rather than from @pluralistic

@macst @pluralistic #openai is explicitly demanding revocation of copyright for #AI its already stained by theft. Wipe it, destroy the base of USA oligarchy in one swoop

@apolaine @macst @pluralistic watson.ch/wirtschaft/interview Een Zwitsers artikel waarin Christophe Germann pleit voor het beëindigen van de handhaving van intellectueel eigendom van de USA. Dit zou de lobbyisten van de techbro`s er toe kunnen brengen om de oranje aap in het Witte Huis op andere gedachten te brengen wat betreft het heffen van importtarieven.. #import #TarriffWar

@twilwel @apolaine @macst @pluralistic @pluralistic came with the same recommendation. #47 led by #putin and the #paypalMob has unilateraly terminated the #usa trade agreements. In which we traded free access to the USA market for respecting the licenses charged by the #TechGiants. We should build our own app stores, search engines, even software, cloud/advertising platforms and stop paying the destructive biljonairs. pluralistic.net/2025/01/15/bea

@macst @pluralistic derStandard also reported that the EU commission is even considering measures to invalidate US patents.

This is, however, treated as a last-resort option, that also might be very hard to realize, given that it would need an unanimous vote and Hungary is unlikely to agree.
