@freemo Would you still eat it or are you pleased with inedible pudding? :-)

@admitsWrongIfProven Two rules to cannabilism:

1) Make sure whoever you eat is evil
2) Cook them well!

If by that you mean people who support some sense of copyright law (though perhaps not in its current form).. and also assuming you dont mean patents... then hunt me, cause I do think copyright law is needed to function as a society.

@admitsWrongIfProven

@freemo @lonelyowl Probably meant copyright extremists, since a reasonable copyright is unknown to date.

Who will take "fossil fuel advocate" and "javascript advocate"?

@admitsWrongIfProven

what do you mean "reasonable copyright is unknown to date" you mean no one supports copyright law without being extremist?

@lonelyowl

@freemo @admitsWrongIfProven

Current status quo is pretty extremist, i think.
Like, i had an ipad a while ago and when i was setting it up it offered me to agree with apple's terms of service. They read something like "you own a device, but don't own the software, so we can do with it whatever we want".

Technically, my ipad wasn't mine, i just leased it in perpetuity. This is insane 🥶

Thats not a copyright thing. Copyright isnt preventing you from flashing the firmware, that would be perfectly legal and cant be stopped by copyright. In fact copyright law cant even stop you from reverse engineering the existing software and hacking it.

The EULA itself that you signed is what is stopping you. That isnt related to copyright in any meaningful way.
