Does anyone have any hot takes or recommended literature on the abolition of IP law? I’m particularly concerned with how to keep the the state and corps from using it against us, moving forward. Sharing a few recent links in the comments pertaining to AI. #asknostr

I’m not a dev, so I do put emphasis on my responsibility to help introduce and familiarize folks in other spaces of the great work being done here. It’s always a challenge to convey the message without being overtly technical. It’s helpful to do so while the iron is hot. From today: “I’ve noticed many of my musician colleagues pushing for legislation reform and better royalties for artists. There have been great campaigns for deleting Spotify, but what happens next? In this space there is minimal discussion of the open source developers who have worked diligently to solve many of the issues we face with social media and finance today. It’s been a long road from Napster to where we are today and I believe that the implementation of BTC, an open-source digitally native currently, into our infrastructure redefines the entire model. It’s also the only digital model that can deliver independence from corporations entirely. For the first time micro payments (<$1) are feasible. Now it is possible to send creators tips through posts and have every streaming royalty settled in real time. This makes the current PROs look as outdated as manual credit card swiping. Not to mention eliminating transaction fees and reliance on banks and governments. I’m happy to help anyone implement and understand these tools to help build better solutions. If anyone wants to debate I happily accept. My point in saying all of this - is that now is an excellent time to learn and reinvent. We’ve all seen the writing on the wall. This recent cash app/square play is massive because it gives plug and play access of this tech to millions of users. Raising the bar as an industry standard. The magic is that you can also send USD - USD and opt to have cash app use the benefits of BTC as the settlement layer, not having to touch BTC at all if you choose.” nostr:nprofile1qqsgydql3q4ka27d9wnlrmus4tvkrnc8ftc4h8h5fgyln54gl0a7dgspzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wvh8xmmrd9skcqgkwaehxw309aex2mrp0yh8qunfd4skctnwv46qddtc35 nostr:nprofile1qqsxcgma3va3yqj3cwxzxrqxm8jg7rfszajhckm9erpkzyhtzhzj46cpzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejszrnhwden5te0dehhxtnvdakz7wwg4fe nostr:nprofile1qqsyuljw8camnnxcprz40vzxyzyjjqnc5ujzwy2686w7nud769ayzkqpz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejj7qg4waehxw309aex2mrp0yhxgctdw4eju6t09ua8gv5f nostr:nprofile1qqsvwct7ssehccgu040egxe4k8k9ru4wd605r2kfv9sf94gsu8pftcqppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qythwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnwdaehgu3wvfskuep0c6w5fr nostr:nprofile1qqsgq37lnqdf0h2pkj842jkqp6gt6c353ln98pxg3mefqvkh22zhzscpr3mhxue69uhkummnw3ezucnfw33k76twv4ezuum0vd5kzmqpp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqhcqpsm

Business wise, concerts typically serve as marketing to sell alcohol.

Props to Square for making a monumental chess move. 🌊 I’m rooting for Tidal to lay the next hand in game theory and innovate archaic PRO payouts/streaming models.🤞 nostr:nprofile1qqsgydql3q4ka27d9wnlrmus4tvkrnc8ftc4h8h5fgyln54gl0a7dgspz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduqs6amnwvaz7tmwdaejumr0ds8py5ck nostr:nprofile1qqsxcgma3va3yqj3cwxzxrqxm8jg7rfszajhckm9erpkzyhtzhzj46cpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhsz8thwden5te0dehhxarj94ex2mrp0yh8wmrkwvh8xurpvdjj7j7stcm nostr:nprofile1qqsyuljw8camnnxcprz40vzxyzyjjqnc5ujzwy2686w7nud769ayzkqpz4mhxue69uhkummnw3ezummcw3ezuer9wchszythwden5te0dehhxarj9emkjmn99ukvf2t4 nostr:npub1cashappn03s3cl2ljsdntv0v28e2um5lgx4vjctqjt23pcwzjhsqmtdg5l

There have been significant campaigns recently, both from musicians/artists and listeners, removing their work from Spotify and deleting their accounts. I support this in every context, although it's worth mentioning that the current motive is largely due to the viral news of CEO Daniel Ek's investment in AI military startups. Something to think about as we envision potential future catalysts for users to leave other platforms and perhaps migrate here. There's now a scramble of discussion as to which new platform serves as the most ethical contender and which legislation best supports increased royalties. With humility, I've been chiming in to introduce some of the concepts within our ethos to those who are willing to learn. It's clear that many may not ever be. I still believe that teaching Bitcoin fundamentals is the best way to introduce outsiders to this space. I'm going to try and step it up with an emphasis on leading by example and showcasing what we've built, rather than trying to convince anybody. I feel now is a great time to do so.
