Just in case you thought reviving dead games seemed easy enough, GOG had to hire a private investigator to find an IP holder living off the grid for its preservation program

I’m against the concept of intellectual property. Information should belong to the entirety of humanity.

Just don’t bother asking someone who obviously doesn’t care anymore.

So you post a selfie on Lemmy and the next thing you know, you’re the key subject in a new Facebook ad?

I think we need some level of IP laws, but current copyright periods are way too long.

Rufus Pollock’s math agrees. I am so bummed he recently took this down from his personal website where it had been available for 15 years

Now it just resolves as a 404 not found:

Ah that’s cool, 15 year copyright sounds good to me.
