Media owners have decided all IP (Intellectual Property) is the same as real property and want it to make rent
Does it take up space in your memory? Good pay me for it being there.
But also dont expect me to build anything new or fix the issues. If you are luck they might come in and give it a fresh coat of all bland colored paint.
Imagine when property owners decide that you also don't own property you buy and just buy the right to pay rent for it?
In UK we call that "leasehold"
ouch, UK is like dystopia testing grounds
Wait you mean like being on a mortgage but not having title on the deed or land? Cause that is also a thing.
Literally just look at the standard mobile home park.
Hooray, lot rent! And more mobile home parks are being bought by vulture capitalists, and they jack the rent up. Then the people who have been living there can't afford it. And they can't afford to move the house elsewhere. So they sell it (for nowhere near what it cost to buy) and have to find somewhere else to live.
It's super not cool.
Reminder: there is no such thing as "intellectual property". The term is loaded language designed to serve the interests of the copyright cartel and should be rejected.
Yeah, its honestly truly an awful thing that has happened to us that there can only be one example of a genre at a time.
ok so pay me for using ai to scrape my data
