@Fitzydog real talk, how does digital piracy affect the NAP?

Oh, that's easy

AnCaps don't believe in intellectual property rights

ah

Or, at least, its the duty of an individual to protect their own intellectual property

@Fitzydog <:think_woke:378717098681171988>

send a death squad to take out the pirates

Multiple other reports of police coming for people at home and work for their firearms. Real totalitarian shit here.

Yeah, I'd love to see that arbitration case between the insurance companies and the offending company lol

@Jym Where?

@Nordhand good find

@Fitzydog `Or, at least, its the duty of an individual to protect their own intellectual property`
like, with guns?

@Tero Like, with airgapped computers and security guards at their building

and, could you contract out this duty to an organisation like.. some kind of police force + judiciary?

oh shit is it ancap hours?

Good luck trying to convince a judge that your filesharing is the same thing as hacking into a computer inside a secure facility

looks like you got something to do on a friday night other than masterbate to commie porn @Fitzydog

There are other ways to protect information. How do you avoid being doxed? By being careful about the information you reveal. Or contributing misinformation. There are also contractual protections like NDAs and NCCs.

^ Yep, exactly

Copyright and trademark law are a byproduct of state protectionism

they are merely mechanisms which encourage people to share their intellectual property, rather than guarding it as a secret

because as mentioned, without IP protections, anything shared is out for good

Had a NCC expire this year. In the process of deciding if I should switch jobs again. I can make more money but on the other hand it's pretty chill where I am and they basically let me run my own show.

But it's interesting that the tech industry is moving towards open source anyways, and focusing on their market share of production.

Like Intel, for example

`moving towards open source anyways`
eh, any important code tends to be run on company servers only, accessible via a locked down web api

@Fitzydog open source is gay

@M4Gunner can attest to that

See? Already we're seeing solutions.

IP law is just Disney j00s exerting their control over govt

@galesteppes Tell that to RISCV

yeah copyright is pretty gay how long it is, should be adjusted down to the original 7 years or so

patent chaining is another gay one, though in general i do think patents have been a positive

There is a private law solution to patent law, if your private arbitration networks agree on a system of standards, and bar their customers from stealing patents from other people in neighboring networks

how does a private arbitration network enforce its decisions/rules though

@Fitzydog how does slavery (voluntary/involuntary) interact with the nap?

@Tero Contractually, and agreed upon best practices

LUL

no no i said enforce
