minus-squareKnock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·17 days agoI like the idea of having to pay a fee to retain copyright. And that fee doubles every year. It starts off low but after a decade or two it becomes more economical to let the copyright lapse. Patents should be scrapped completely.
minus-squareDoomsider@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·17 days agoOh, I like that because it puts a ever increasing burden to use it or lose it. Once it is no longer profitable it goes back to public domain. I find patents of dubious value to say the least. It is definitely the worst part of IP.
