changing laws is slooooooowwwww

mirrorbird (23:49:24)
the ethics are obviously arguable (is copying a disk stealing from anybody?). but there ya go. that's the intention. and all these things existed before the digital world of easy copying.

mirrorbird (23:49:01)
let's see. copyright is like "i made it, i control it". trademark is like "i make it so don't say anybody else makes it". patent is like "i found out HOW to make it, so it's my process" lol

mirrorbird (23:47:35)
and patent is for a general idea of an invention (like a new type of space rocket). not the particular space-rocket i built, but the whole idea of it. (software patents are a bit nasty.) there are the 3 things because they are for different reasons

mirrorbird (23:46:53)
trademark doesn't require much 'creativity', but it stops me selling my music as Genuine Music Made by Rapture, when you already took that name.

mirrorbird (23:46:34)
Rap: they serve different purposes. copyright generally protects something you built from hard work, like a painted picture, or a composed song, or program code

I thought in kids times, present (plural) is LESS worth than "presents" (singular) haha. funny bit of childhood remembrance.

on C64 I was bemused when in intro of game stood "blabla software present ..." instead of presents
