Europe community on dbzer0. Intended to be a place to discuss European news, politics, or just general topics from a European perspective. Since this is on dbzer0 expect the community to lean more leftist-anarchist but a wide range of views are accepted here (within reason).
Rules:
1. No Bigotry or Hate Speech
Any forms of Homophobia, Transphobia, Queerphobia, Racism, or Ableism will be met with swift and harsh action and will not be tolerated here whatsoever. Bigots will be banned immediately on-sight. This includes apologia of it.
Trying to be politely or intellectually bigoted i.e. "Just asking questions" won't be tolerated.
2. No Zionism
Any forms of Zionism or Zionist rhetoric will not be tolerated here, this includes Zionist apologia, accusations of antisemitism towards anti-Zionists, or blatant denial or downplaying of the genocide towards Palestinians. Any attempt to uphold or prop up the IHRA definition of antisemitism, will be treated as Zionism.
Anyone engaging in Pro-Zionist sentiment or apologia will be actioned in accordance with its severity.
Note: Trying to find loopholes or whataboutery to see what is or isn't genocide denial or Zionism will be treated as a violation of this rule. Don't test us.
3. Stay Civil
Please maintain civil discourse in the community. Do not engage in arguments with others, name-calling, or insults. Note that calling out bigotry or Zionism is not considered an insult. In heated arguments users are encouraged to or even required to disengage failure to do so will result in mod action.
4. No Misinformation
Spreading of misinformation intentionally in this community is unacceptable and will not be tolerated. Spreading misinformation hurts the credibility of the community and can mislead people sometimes in dangerous ways. Users who intentionally post misinformation as articles, comment answers, or in attempt to win arguments will be actioned swiftly.
Note: This includes Russian and Chinese propaganda. Users with a history of such posting will be banned on sight.
5. No AI Content
Please do not post articles or content primarily created using generative AI. Generative AI content may contain misinformation or be lower quality and thus is discouraged. Posts and comments featuring it will be removed. However this community does not allow or tolerate Anti-AI trolling or hostility and users who engage in such behavior will be actioned for it, additionally Anti-AI trolling violates Rule 3 and often Rule 4 so it is generally unacceptable already.
Note: Rules 1 & 2 may be subject to preemptive mod action due to their severity, and they apply to a user's entire post history. Not just this community.
Copyright for voice and faces actually makes sense. Copyright for creative works as it exists is dumb as fuck.
Copyright is nothing more than a system for creating artificial scarcity and monopolies where there is no inherent need for it. Protecting our identities is a genuinely valuable use of that system, stopping artists from sampling and remixing is not.
Applies for a copyright patent for your face.
Gets it, now proceeds to sue you for violating my patent.
The core of the idea is that you own the copyright to your own face.
I don't think anyone is proposing any kind of system that would allow you to hold the copyright of anyone else's face.
Also, copyright != patent.
Oh no, twas a joke.
Although I didn't know that copyright and patent were not the same.
I know it was meant as a joke, but unfortunately, yes, its kind of based on false premises.
Very, very broadly speaking:
A patent typically pertains to some kind of invention, some kind of unique and novel design of a machine or process.
A copyright typically pertains to some kind of created work, like a song, book, visual artwork.
A trademark typically pertains to a brand name, marketing slogan.
All 3 of these together comprise the category of Intellectual Property, IP Law.

The actual law on all this stuff is actually extremely esoteric and complicated... and it is probably also worth noting that I am describing and more well versed in US IP law, not that of the Netherlands, which may be substantially different ... I am not Dutch, I don't know much specifically on that, but I did study US IP law back during getting my Poli Sci and Econ degrees.
Again, the entire subject is... exceptionally tedious and complicated lol, I totally do not blame you for not knowing the details, the vast majority of people don't, lol.
Hmm, interesting.
