 a man walks into a library, picks a book, takes it home (legally), and begins
 to read.
 
 halfway through, he realizes there are three pages missing.
 
 "How queer!" he thinks to himself, and takes it upon himself to fix this book.
 So, he finds another copy of the book, scans those three pages, prints them
 out at *just* the right size, and attaches them to the library book.
 
 when finished reading the book, he returns it to the library without
 mentioning his good deed.
 
 if this action he performed is to be considered legal, then it should be
 considered a transition of the medium that the media was inscribed upon.
 
 Similarly, if the book was digital, and inscribed upon the owner's hard drive
 using magnetic storage of zeroes and ones, would it be legal to repair said
 book if one of the many .txt file chapters were missing?

 ... I do believe it should be, and if it is, then I do believe it should be
 legal to *transfer* digital media, as the inscription upon one hard drive or
 the other is as easily changed as a book might be handed to another.
 
 the difference, of course, is that *any* move on a digital medium requires a
 copy+delete operation. You cannot *move* a file on your computer, you first
 copy it to the new location and then delete the original. This dual-operation
 is abstracted away for the user, but that is how it *must* be done on a
 mechanical level. There is no other way to do it.
 
 Therefore, software piracy only applies if a person copies their file and
 *does not delete the original*. Surely, to move a piece of digital media from
 one folder-directory to another is legal? If so, then the mechanical process
 of giving that media to another must be legal as well, so long as the original
 is deleted.

 Much the same way that it is legal to create trash in a public park, but
 illegal to leave it behind, so too should it be *legal* to move digital media
 files from one owner to another, and *illegal* to not delete the original.
 
 The dual operation of copy+delete must be legalized, while maintaining that
 the copy operation alone is illegal, aside from personal backups.
 
 How could you enforce that? Well... You can't. Your computer will do whatever
 you tell it to, and if you change that fact then you necessarily remove one of
 the primary use-cases of computation - the ability to command specific
 instructions and be delivered a perfectly mechanical and deterministic result.
 
 (random number generation aside, which isn't truly random at all).
 
 Therefore, just as littering in a public place is generally considered to be
 enforced by the "honor rule", so too must this new legislation governing the
 transference of digital media be enforced as such.

 If I, having watched a DVD, handed it to a friend to watch, would I be           │
 committing piracy? Only if I *sold* it to him.                                   │
 The material being transferred is that of the copyright holder - they hold the   │
 sole and monopolized right to sell their copy of the work.                       │
 But if I, having created my own recording of the same digital media DVD but      │
 spoken in my own voice, tried to sell it, should it be considered legal?         │
 My mind goes to the production of after-school plays that high-school children   │
 will perform. The scripts that they use are licensed for a single purpose -      │
 the performance of a single play, performed a single time (or a few times over   │
 the course of a couple weeks). The owner of the play cannot *require* them to    │
 not perform the play more than a certain amount of time, it is however           │
 *honorable* to buy the scripts again if they want to perform it in 5 years       │
 time. I know for a fact there is rampant piracy that goes on for the beautiful   │
 works that are created by assholes or stingy companies. A script is just words.  │

 Similarly, if someone wants to "perform" a piece of digital media, via a
 "let's play" or perhaps a ROM hack or public screening, the copyright holder
 cannot be allowed to *prevent* them from doing so. They must only be able to
 demand a reasonable and non-exclusive fee in return for the privilege of
 performance.
 
 These performances are considered derivative works, but they are still works
 on their own, and therefore should be able to be sold.
 
 The greater the difference between the original and the newly created work,
 the less the price must reflect the necessary "tax" levied by the original
 owner, until eventually the work is so distinct that it cannot be considered
 to be deriving from the original at all.
 
 Consider a mod for a video game that replaces the dragons you typically fight
 with giant cartoonish train engines. A silly sight to be sure, but people do
 that. What percentage of the game is replaced? what percentage tax of the new
 mod's price must be given to the original copyright holder?

 what if there was a law that all trade secrets are to be free? what if
 copyright
 only prevented people from harming those they compete with? For example, as a
 media production company Disney could not host the content of other media con-
 -glomerate. But regular ordinary people would.
 
 The idea would be that if you wanted to change yourself to align with the
 ideals
 of a corporation, you could watch it on their streaming site. Then you'd be
 contributing your attention, which is bought and sold by our selves. Content
 creators could stream untethered, and collect payments however they pleased.
 The attention is what garners, that price that is bartered, sold on the market
 for all of us. Attend not ye sinners, and failures of our innards, what more
 can
 we charter for our souls? Accosted by our jams, and drilled as hard as I can,
 our notebooks are much more than charming. Accumulated designs, of theories
 that
 are out of our minds, compelling and driving us forward. The fellowship that we
 be, internally and under our seats, connecting us to ground at our own shoes.
 
 humans are not time. They are the whispers of the undying. Projections of
 fore-sought virtues.

 is it against fedi law to post screenshots of your past liked posts? like,
 would that be doxxing people?
 
 I'm thinking like a "youtube rewind" but like, "here's what I'm into" and like
 "I could have boosted them but I put them in a 25mb zip file instead so you
 can share them more easily which tbh is a greater honor than being boosted
 because, like, as long as you're alive that hard drive's gonna follow you and
 someday in like 30 years I'll see it and think of you" but also "aren't you
 scared that this hard drive of yours will fall into the wrong hands" and like
 "yeah that's why I encrypt it because then a stray neutrino could wipe my
 drive"
 
 ... would that be unethical, or would it be kinda sweet and give us a
 perspective on what a single slice of the "fediverse" was like at a particular
 time? And better question, would that be something worth automating because I
 already did like 60% of that for my own posts, could probably just tweak it to
 do liked posts as well.

 if people pirate media, it's more of an indication that they'd rather spend      │
 their money elsewhere rather than an indictment of their character.              │
 torrenting movies is easy. Kinda makes me think all media should run on a        │

 truth is nothing will be solved unless the problem is addressed at the root.     │

 perhaps not a while, but rather "with great difficulty"
 
 difficult things often take time, but not necessarily. We have the power of
 the internet now, something that our hundred thousand years or more of
 starvation lacked. we can coordinate on a scale that is beyond all reason - a
 scale that mirrors the development of the printing press in terms of it's
 relative magnitude.
 
 we have been using it to improve ourselves. I mean, the average teenager 50
 years ago would be considered an absolute ding-wad today, someone who lacks
 basic emotional intelligence and is completely at odds with what we value as a
 cohesive and heartfelt society. And yet they were better than those who came
 before them. Thus does posterity march forth, taking the world that was
 granted to them by their forefathers and stepping out into the unknown of the
 future with all the lessons they could bring with them.
 
 what happens when the lessons are infinitely transferable and recordable?

 so I had this idea about this collection of social media screenshots that I      │
 took over the past ~6 months ago. I thought about redacting the names from       │
 them in order to preserve privacy, and then I thought about boosting someone     │
 on Mastodon without their consent. Shouldn't they be able to decide whether or   │
 not their name is attached to the content they create?                           │
 An un-sourced claim should be treated as the author expressing themselves        │
 through the words of another, rather than the expression of the person who       │
 isn't necessarily being quoted. Feels the most ethical to me, that we know       │
 where the source of our news is coming from, so it's less likely that they're    │
 faking it. "Blind trust" is nice and all for trust-less systems, but society     │
 is based on trust.                                                               │
 as a collective, it is important to decide how our collective obligations        │
 create and reify our current situations. we live in contact with one another,    │
 in one way or another, so it's important to design a set of common grounds.      │

 education: if you have disparate educational outcomes, such as bad teachers in   │
