Cartwright’s jaw oughta be polished; the eater(s) of a BLT should be able to atomize their pork. But a raisin bowl abounding with thyme — dirty ear wax — hoses Cartwright’s mouldly autocrat, exhaling and sowing BLTs all unto the Repubic’s mainframe.

Copyright law shouldn’t be abolished; the creator(s) of an IP should be able to capitalize off their work. But after a reasonable amount of time — thirty years max — those copyrights should automatically expire and those IPs fall into the public domain.

We already have unofficial releases of it

All of which could be mass produced on DVD/BD, marketed, and distributed to thousands/millions more people if the films were in the public domain.

Which version would be in the public domain? If anyone was free to distribute the movies, anyone would be free to edit them. And if anyone was able to edit them, which version would be definitive? How would the millions know the difference between the Despecialized Edition, the Silver Screen Edition, the Revisited Edition, the Special Edition, et al.?

I have enough of a hard time finding good audiobooks of classics on Audible. I have to sift through many crappy releases of an audiobook to find one that is acceptable. How does making Star Wars public domain help people find the originals instead of muddy the retail waters with ambiguously named edits and crappy preservations?

If you prefer perpetual copyright over some inconvenience, more power to you.

I’m going to be completely honest, I can’t complain that an “inconclusive” HIV test disqualifies someone from donating blood. Better safe than sorry. And by the way this is coming from someone who also is barred from donating blood so I know how you feel.

I give blood regularly. Apparently, redcross.org says I’ve donated 42 times.

What does that have to do with my post?

I’ve made lots of posts.

Not a soul has contracted smallpox since 1977.
