We just updated our post to add a key point: Government-chosen, government-mandated automated censorship technology is especially bad because it won't stop with copyright-based censorship -- the temptation to use it for other things will be irresistible. questioncopyright.org/smart-act-same…
The muse came bearing gifts: @ninapaley has completed "Apocalypse Animated" and the results are irreverently powerful (that's not a contradiction, it turns out): questioncopyright.org/nina-paleys-ap… Congratulations, Nina! And blessings upon you for releasing it all under a Free license.
It's done -- @ninapaley has finished animating the apocolypse! All 22 chapters of the Book of Revelation from the New Testament. She's been working on this every day since October! See her post at blog.ninapaley.com/2022/02/11/it-…, and then be revelated at apocalypseanimated.com .
@floydwebb I wish they would do so! But it's also a losing argument to tell one of the rare artists who makes a lot of money from the copyright monopoly system that they should give up some of that monopoly. Instead, the state should create less monopoly in the first place. (/cc @qco)

Solid ideas from @ehasbrouck here -- ideas that would help authors. Is anyone listening at @librarycongress and @LibnOfCongress, and @CopyrightOffice?

Agreeing with @ehasbrouck of @paythewriter here: If the U.S. government is going to enforce copyrights in the first place, then it should track the copyright status and owner for a given work, and make that information easily available to libraries and others who need it.

We just posted a piece about why the @internetarchive's National Emergency Library is a great idea. This is the moment for experiments like the NEL -- if not now, when? If you can, please support them.

@THEJessAllen If you're curious, I was inspired by @kfogel's "The Surprising History of Copyright and The Promise of a Post-Copyright World." If he hadn't written that, I may never have started thinking about basic income... but maybe I would have. Who knows? questioncopyright.org/promise
Very glad to hear the piece affected you like that, @AlexHowlettUBI, thanks! It can be a deep and perhaps scary step for many people to think about doing away with artificial scarcity -- when there's a monopoly, you always know who's in control.

Ironically, @BretStephensNYT's column about free speech cannot be freely shared, because copyright (aided by the WSJ paywall).

Seeking Drupal consultant for upgrade of a 7.56 site to 8.6.13. Site has CiviCRM installed (so it will also need upgrading), and a variety of modules. Its custom theme may need updating too. Reply here or to kfogel_{AT}_questioncopyright.org if interested.
Yes, we know our web site looks bonkers -- the upgrade from Drupal 7.54 to 7.56 broke our theme, apparently. Seeking Drupal guru now!
