SKG's regulations are a flimsy half measure that'll barely do anything. The real solution is to abolish intellectual property.

It... would? Yeah? Corporations would in fact hate it if they couldn't go after people for committing thoughtcrimes. Libertarians are correct in thinking that removing throughtcrime from law would fix a lot of problems. How is this reply even an argument? Is this an AI-generated post?

based, but that's never going to happen and a properly or even half assed implementation of SKG is by itself an uphill battle that would make important changes if successful

Why would I support the abolition of IP after seeing what a microcosm of faggots on /v/ will immediately do with it?

>>715775585
Because those corporations would still be around if ip was abolished and if they oppose that abolition, they clearly don't have the public's best interest in mind which is the only reason the market would ever self-regulate or "fix" itself as your fags always like to say.

Frivolous litigation, buying out competition, weaponizing advertisement, etc. Plenty of ways really.

>>715774745 (OP)
Copyright law is based in international treaties and backed to the hilt by law firms, lobbies, international interest groups, law schools (producing lawyers, politicians and legislators, essentially staffing the judicial, legislative and executive branches of all governments) and pretty much every major corporation.
Even if a corporation doesn't defend its IP at all, it can still use frivolous IP law based court cases to hinder its competition, so larger corporations with the money to throw around for lobbying efforts and court cases alike aren't going to back down on keeping it active.
Even the supreme court ruled that the unconstitutional increases to copyright law were entirely constitutional, in spite of it going against the stated character of the justices backing it.

There is massive amount of money and power behind IP law, so it will be very difficult to remove even though it is a massive detriment to the cultural, academical and industrial sectors of the countries that have to deal with it.

Kill trademark law.
We're well past the point where it's actually useful for anything other than corporate blackmail and it can easily be handled with hash tables or whatever, rather than specifically trademarking logos, appearance, names, etc..
It's even being used to legislate against the use of properties for which copyright has lapsed.

>>715776406
Donkey Kong, at the time, was a game that had merits regardless of whether it had memorable characters in it or not. But we are not dealing with the same Nintendo that existed back then. Modern Nintendo relies entirely on its IPs for survival. Their games only run on their consoles. They shut down fangames so that you can only go to them. Without IP, their entire business model would be screwed.

Corporations are the ones who tried to stop your right to repair though?

>>715780669
Yes, corporations used government regulations to stop your right to repair. Government is the main tool with which corporations take away your rights, you fucking untermensch. There is no such thing as an enmity between corporations and governments. They all work together to strip you of your freedoms and reduce you to livestock.

Litigations such as... invoking a government regulation?

>>715780849
It's almost like this is a multifaceted issue or something, and that corpos want you succumb to learned helplessness.

>>715780849
But the government was the one that declared the user has a right to repair and corporations can't block that?

>>715781013
So a bad regulation should intrinsically preclude any regulation that positively benefits citizens against corporate entities despite being fielded through grassroot movements?

>regulations are bad
>uses right to repair as an example as to why
I don't get it

>>715781114
Right, corpos want you to succumb and submit to their system of constant violence in the form of government regulations.
>>715781134
Right, but only after they declared that corporations can punish people for tampering with things that they bought.

>>715781218
When did they declare that?

>>715781181
I think one of them got confused.

>>715781218
So if the government course corrected why is it a problem? It sounds like it got resolved through good faith government action via regulation.

I guess no one remembers the reason why Intellectual Property rights were created in the first place.
On the advent of the printing press, book publishers(not surprised) were stealing writer's work and not giving them compensation but continued to sell their books without permission or anything.

>The real solution is to abolish intellectual property.
Wrong
>anyone can run a server for any game without facing a cease and desist
Wrong
You still need the code to be able to run it, and SKG is fighting for access to parts of that code so after a company abandons a game you could run it for yourself in a non commercial setting. That is at least one of the possible options.
>every predatory tactic used by modern games becomes obsolete since any sufficiently pissed off player will just make their own server with the microtransactions modded out
They already should be. You are not forced to participate in those predatory systems. I don't remember the last time I bought a game with those.
>corpos can't force you not to mod their games anymore
They can. You still run into the same issue, even if you abolish intellectual property. If half or more of the game is server side, without access to it, and its authentication process, you can't mod something you can't run.
>corpos can't shut down fangames anymore
That is the only benefit to your abolishing of IPs. Hilariously enough, a corpo could simply steal that fan game and sell it as their own, since you have abolished intellectual property, and they have an infinitely better marketing platform than a fangame.

You are retarded.

Standard shit really. Under copyright law books were display pieces, without it anyone could pick up textbooks for pennies from reprinters, and upon its introduction people were worried that they'd be getting less money from their work.
We are currently entering a period of massive stagnation because of IP law after major publishing companies got rich off of works that were public domain under copyright durations that were only a fraction of their current duration.
