If people could be owed profit just for creating things, I could go around town singing my original music to people passing by and then forcing them to pay for listening to it.

The difference being, those people didn't ask for your music, but you needed that software, otherwise you wouldn't use it.

and neither does intellectual property, it’s a myth, a fable, a fabrication that is enforced by powerful corpos in order to forcefully extract undeserved profits from a market of artificial scarcity that they created in the first place.

Lol, so basically confirming my last paragraph then, "doesn't actually exist" because its digital, what a take.

You are absolutely correct, we should not have law enforcement at all, just ask the people to arrest themselves when committing a crime, i'm sure that'll go tremendously!

I’ll go back to my construction analogy

I think that's a bad analogy, isp's and dns providers have the ability to control mass amounts of traffic, enforcing site blocks at isp and dns level would be the most feasible way to do this. They're also likely much more capable of moderating the internet than small websites which don't have time to do so.

In other news: the sky is blue

It’s not just lemmy that’s benefiting from Elon Musk.

Whether its lemmy or mastodon, or kbin that grows, we're all benefiting. That's the beauty of federation.

When you think they couldn't get more scummy.. they strike again. It's as if musk is actively trying to turn his platform to shit.
