Redefining someone as a terrorist is a way to pull them out of the regular judicial system. This video goes into a lot of detail with how secrecy in governments started. The final lines are chilling. This is a nightmare.

This is more accurate than the take about growth being more important than climate change. Honestly there are many companies which are dedicated to change, and would lobby to make this also profitable, because dealing with climate change is a strategic thing. Same way as building a platform which loses money for several years is strategic.

Jeff Bezos though? He does not care at all.

Wait that lawsuit is still going on???

I reject your idea that it could allow copyright laundering

It's fine, that doesn't change the legality. Unsure whether a judge would include reasoning like this in their judgement.

My license to play the game allows me to incorporate my gameplay into a new work,

No, you are not freely allowed to create derivative works. You are probably arguing fair use or fair dealing, but Twitch streaming generally wouldn't count (it's not part of the list of exceptions).

You seem to be talking via theory not actual law. Most lawyers say it would need to be tried in court but Nintendo (it was Nintendo making the claims at the time) would have a solid case. The reason is that it would allow copyright laundering: You could play the game and license the "video" to a game company which could use the assets in the video (eg: Mario) to make a new Mario game.

You could play your Switch on a train, while streaming on Twitch, and it still wouldn’t be infringement.

I don't think that's correct. Streaming or showing publicly is infringement. Game companies don't tend to sue for Twitch streaming but my understanding is that it's well within their copyright to do so.

Interesting. Very similar to the copyright logjam which Jim Sterling tries to create in Youtube. Basically uses copyrights of several companies and when they all claim ownership, then none of them can monetise the video.

Take it easy. Every vegan meal counts, and if you push too hard you might just give up entirely. You have to integrate the changes into your lifestyle, and that takes time. Try and become steady with a certain amount of plant-based food, add slowly. It should be fun and experimentation not work.

Right? You could use this argument for why all delayed gratification is essentially impossible (but also something people regularly do), or why it's impossible to stop murder or other illegal activity. Some sort of police force would just be impossible in an ancap world after all...

What if you were playing a Switch on the train? Would that not be "exhibiting the work publically"?

Yeah this was something else I was thinking of. I'm not exactly sure about the mechanics of the infringement here, but it seems like simply knowing a thing taints you for producing a work. I guess it's more about ease of proving?
