Interesting how artists don't make enough money from their creations, so our solution is to make certain information illegal to share, rather than give them a universal basic income. (lemm.ee)

trademark has nothing to do with copyright. they're two sets of laws that developed a two different times for two different reasons.

trademark is a consumer protection. copyright is a fucking monopoly.
