And as this analysis endofw esternciv.blogspot.com/2017/01/our-new-global-internet.html has warned you about, in the New Internet:
You won’t be able to post ANY picture on the Internet if you have not created it yourself.
Several business like GettyImages,Shutterstock, Dreamstime, etc, make it a practice to copyright and register ANY non-copyrighted photo on the Internet...just by copyrighting it...making it their property.... and letting you use it ONLY if you pay them a commission.
There lawyer-like rats out there who are copyrighting things that they have not created and which do not belong to them...simply by copyrighting them!
A recent comedic example was the attempt to copyright a radio host’s voice and stating he could no longer be on the radio without paying the rat lawyers commission!
And this thing is getting out of control.
Another hilarious example involved a photographer taking wedding pictures for $300...then refusing to turn over the pictures to the bride and groom until they had paid for the copyright to THEIR OWN pictures (for an extra $1000)!!!
Another recent scheme by the lawyerats involves copyrighting your DNA and not permitting you to use it until you have paid a hefty sum (one more reason to NOT submit to a DNA test).
Why are they doing that? To get paid every time you take or are forced to take a DNA test for the police, for ancestry, for legal purposes, for custom genetic treatments?
Who knows.
But you can bet they have an IN on it and are planning to make money from it.
Quick piece of advice.
When you create something, make sure to give yourself credit and put a copyright symbol © at the end of document. The (present) law says this automatically makes it copyrighted (even though you did not actually register it with the government).
Now why did I just get into all this copyright madness?
Because the new Geneva-based Internet is big on copyright...
...and copyright, which used to be a reasonable legal procedure to protect ideas and creations...has now become a lunatic free-for-all (you can thank your corrupt corporate-financed government and illegal system for this) in which your idea can be flat out STOLEN or CONFISCATED if you do not copyright.
This phenomenon might lead to over-the-net instant copyrighting services, where you just email a picture(s) of your creations to copyright.
Now why did I just get into all this nonsense about Copyrighting?
Well, copyrighting everything is a great method of TRACKING and FILING everything that you create...in other words, it is sure to become another method of RECORDING everything you do.
And the new European Geneva Internet is obsessed with the new copyrighting law...which comes to you by way of the World Court and the World Trade Organization (WTO).
Lol, lmao even.
At best, you have the Statue of Anne which was supposed to stop big (((publishing houses))) from printing and selling copies of books, brought to them by authors, for their own profit. That didn't work because big organizations will always be able to use laws against small organizations or individuals. All it did was solidify the market model of "intellectual property", which clearly doesn't work without special government monopolies.
Do we need copyright law at all?
Do youtubers care? They get money almost immediately and, generally, reposters only get away with it so long as fans don't realize what they're doing; if they know, they'll use the original channel.
Do movie/game studios care? Yes, but fuck em, they haven't made anything worthwhile in decades. They squat on their IPs (that they didn't create) and use them to push political narrarives. Copyright law enables this, rather than incentivises them to make new works. If we didn't have copyright laws, we would have definitely seen a decent Star Wars movie (made by actual fans) in the last 10 years.
How about smaller authors/musicians? Doesn't seem to make much difference. They rarely make money off direct purchases; it's all donations and merch.
The "buy a physical copy of my work" model was never tenable and the internet has shown there were always better alternatives. Copyright law obfuscated these alternatives and allowed the publishers to not only make their own copies, but force small authors to sell their rights in order to get published at all (makes sense) to give the big guys all the leverage and profit.
Again in the early 21st century it is literally nothing like that.
It used to be something that just prevents you from getting tricked and downloading a virus spoofing as a real game.
Only when the great victory against man began in 2016 does it disintegrate into the insanity you described. Basically you hear nothing about small producers, only big ones or the ones thay were already known.
