When I think about copyright and other forms of intellectual property and debate a band owning the rights to its works I often ponder all the rights..

When they play a concert or share their music via CD/cassette/itunes etc and the purchaser plays for their friends..

once that tune hits the air and my ears, is it really theirs anymore?

Its is a fact they wrote it but how can they own and control the rights of distribution to something that now exists in my brain.

I will never accept their want to imprint something to my mind and then control what I do with it, I'll be honest that they wrote it.

if record companies or profiteers take issue with this, I see this as their logic being broken along the line of a complex system with a confirmation bias motivated by domination and greed.

If they were in hard times and asked for gratis I would take no issue supporting them if I had funds.

If someone wanted to setup a gratis system for distribution, I also take no issue with that.

If they want to play concerts and make money for work, that's great!

To enforce royalties though is not good. Creating inequity for the poor and their right to art.

This is hard for some people to realize for its a battle of our times and not well defined but it is state enforced mental feudalism and a aristocracy and ownership of data that exists in our minds. Sadly even this system subjugates the artists often.

I refuse this system’s decrees.

@freemo

item #2 put todo list in nextcloud and merge all other todo lists I created on paper and other platforms.

@rozina@merveilles.town buying your album made me happy... hope we can find alternative FOSS payment platform in the future.

Your cool!

@rozina@merveilles.town using gimp, krita, dia, skencil, inkscape, <FOSSware> for creating graphics and art are not cheaping they are pure art forms in the spirit of humanity.

in my opinion they put your art many orders of magnitude of value above those programs.

@dearcatastrophewaitress My heart feels crushing pain for you. The world is filled with sadness, and its good to mourn at these times... ask me about this when you have done your mourning.

does it disgust you when you search for a video's title verbatim on youtube yet it doesn't turn up in the first 2 pages of search results? then someone gives you the direct link and after using it, you can then search for it after that?

Eventually they will get better at hiding this type of censorship to.

Intelligent people are capable of amazing things when put to the task.

I think google has perverted its original value of organizing the worlds data and making it easily accessible.

Agreed on that. I will oppose vaccine mandates in every way possible.

@pthenq1
There is not much data to justify the covid vaccine mandates and I'll die fighting them.
@twotwenty @freemo

@freemo @pthenq1 @swiley

now for however small a risk for something that loses its efficacy so quickly and could becoming something that needs taking 2x per year... well.. I do not support mandates.

@freemo @pthenq1 @swiley

It is still a low number but per million doses it is still of a higher factor then vaccines in the common vaccine schedule.

Not sure if this is accurate but back in august I did compare the numbers with vaers and it seemed good.

This might be anecdotal but I already personally know 4 adverse reactions and 1 death from the vaccine. I also know someone that died of covid, but few long haulers.

1 person I met at the store had that crazy face paralysis one. said it had been 2 month and doctor said will never make a full recovery now.

Most science now agrees that even 100% vaccination with these specific covid vaccines will not stop the spread or the endemic from continuing.

Car belts are mandated and I take no issues with that, I'm neutral. Those are more about insurance and personal safety then a common good though. There is also virtually no arguments against using them.
I agree its one of the more powerful analogous arguments.

Your science statement is bold and not open minded since there is a fair bit of science that suggests there is more and more real danger to these particular vaccines, science is skeptical not divine. There are many studies that continually disprove what people were claiming as absolute science in the beginning like it being able to give herd immunity. Also there is research going on regarding the specific protein they all use in the genetic therapy to convince your own cells to produce, which in turn trains your immune system. The spike protein itself is potentially toxic in its own right, there are claims that the spike created by the vaccine induce protein is not but that remains to be seen by healthy skeptical researchers void of to much confirmation bias.

There is a group of medical researches at the university I work at that have produced alot of data that gets little attention and debate. The crazier thing is what Dr Pelech says about many of his colleagues and the environment of fear currently in the Canadian academic system, There are medical doctors having their licenses suspended for speaking their minds about it. He also states that research grants are biased toward the type being done. Dr Steven Pelech is in a unique situation regarding punishment and fear since he is both tenured and owns his own pharmaceutical laboratory, he is also on the esteemed senate of the university.

Most of my colleagues are not anti vaccination, just anti this current set of vaccinations.

You can have your opinion but it is of my opinion that in Canada and in the USA this is a gross violation of medical freedom, protected Dr patient privacy and bodily autonomy all of which seat belt mandates are not.

Dr Pelech is one of the founding members of a group of 700 doctors in Canada. canadiancovidcarealliance.org/

He has assured me in a personal meeting with him that they do their best to keep any misinformation from that website.

Would you like to know my specific reasons and ethical values that prevent me from taking the vaccine?
