@celesteh@hachyderm.io @farseen@fedi.nptr.xyz @reformed_content_marketer@mastodon.social @mcc@mastodon.social 'public domain', though, is pretty much the same throughout the world.
In fact, it's odd that you mention Steam Boat Willie since the Sonny Bono Act (also known as the Mickey Mouse Act) *extended* copyright so that works of corporations would be significantly delayed in becoming public domain. Lessig wrote of that.
Moral Rights is interesting given it wasn't imported with Copyright Law in the U.S. in direct form.

@celesteh@hachyderm.io @farseen@fedi.nptr.xyz @reformed_content_marketer@mastodon.social @mcc@mastodon.social It's a little disturbing to me that people don't understand these things. There are reasons to be angry about AI. The right reasons give traction in discussion and policy. The wrong reasons lose arguments and lose policy. 'AI' is an umbrella of Simulated Human Intelligence Technologies (SHIT - hasn't caught on. lol). It's important to make sure criticism is accurate. https://realityfragments.com/2026/09/23/simulated-human-intelligence-technologies/
