A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

The standard needs to be opt-in, not opt-out. You can't take people's stuff without their permission. Just because they didn't contact you and tell you directly that you're not allowed to take their lawn ornaments doesn't make them free.
Why not? Copyright is a monopoly. Generally society benefits from having it as weak as possible.
