@furgar There's a composer, I forgot the name, who composed an entire suite and variations on a ground theme of another composer's concerto.

They distilled the fundamental notes and made a lot of variations of it.

Said original composer was so flattered he flew out to see it.

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.

@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.

vaersanalysis.info/2021/08/12/

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.
