I’m fairly sure that at this point pirating has been shown to lead to increased sales, even of small scale productions.
Also, no one said that people can’t keep the rights for a while, just that if you don’t let people access those things you don’t get to prosecute them for making the art available.
No, (though depends on your definition of art) but there’s a reason that public buildings (Churches, for instance) were often the best decorated with murals, frescoes, and statues.
Also within local communities there would be musicians and artisans who were known for their work.
That said, art did become more privatised once the 17th century rolled around. Obviously varied by geographic regions, etc. (e.g. Artist items (amongst other items of worth) were deliberately shared out by many American Indian groups in potlatches as acts of redistribution.)
Ironically the Luddites were very aware the system was the problem, they made system changing demands.
Mainstream history has decided to make them into a terrified of new technology pastiche of the truth.
Except the peasant classes did rise up many times, and were repeatedly betrayed by the petit bourgeois and pushed back down in order to establish capitalism more fully.
Plus, lots of the benefits of capitalism that people felt were really using imperialism and colonialism to import benefits and export suffering - not an actual increase in overall comfort or “good”.
Classical Marxist historical materialism is, honestly a load of bunk.
You’re right, the bribery talk is the logical extrapolation of the ruling that is laid out in the dissenting opinion. (and also in a minor dissent from one of the 6 judges who made the ruling.)
Doesn’t the ruling say that if the president takes a bribe to give someone an official appointment, that the person was appointed is not admissable as evidence in court?
That’s both new, and stupid. But what Roberts wrote in the majority ruling.
Edit: It also states that Trump putting pressure on Pence to change the election results may or may not be an official act, and whether it can be prosecuted is unclear (and whether it can be discussed in law needs an investigation and a ruling, rather than deciding it in a court of law).
Edit II: Romer below said it all far better than me. https://lemmy.autism.place/comment/224475
“The Democrats have fielded the only candidate who could lose against Trump, and the Republicans have the only candidate who could lose to Biden.”
Enjoy the 4 specials, I’ve got the last of the Ncuti Gatwa series to go.
… I don’t like gravy, or poorly readable charts.
He is back now, and it’s fine.
Much better than Chibnall since RTD actually understands Who.
That’s a list of Eurovision hits right there.
Moldova had a good run for a few years. Don’t think they’ve made the finals over the last few though.
Tudi-Voice, Taiwan - Taiwanese modern folk stuff.
Florent Vollant, Canada - interesting indigenous culture based music.
Mulatu Astatke, Ethiopia - Jazz from the 60s and 70s.
Altın Gün, Türkiye/The Netherlands - modern Anatolian psych sounds.
Gwenno, Wales - Gaelic folktronica.
Twinnings is my usual. Pukka, mostly for herbies, and various supermarket ownbrands (not each of them’s cheapest ownbrand mind you). Yorkshire is decent, PG tips OK but I never buy the latter myself.
Guizhou Mao Jian (毛尖) of various brands is decent too, if you can find it. More commonly I love an English Breakfast, Earl and Lady Grey, Rooibos, and various herbal concoctions.
Edit: nicest brand of tea I had was TWG, and they were amazing. Too expensive for me to ever buy for myself, though.
It also means that it blocks Solitude and Subtlety very well, plus bounces off of itself in the mirror.
Which added to not dying to bolt make it, and it’s deck, much more resilient than a growth spiral engine has any right to be.
I also thought that there were support sperm who basically just help other sperm reach the egg.
I’m pretty sure they would, unless you’re over 30.
Canada has one of the most open immigration policies in the world.
The US has been continually committing terrorist acts (or enabling them) around the world for at least the last 70 years.
If the US is collapsing, perhaps they will have to let up a little and focus on its own civil war and take the boot off of the developing world somewhat.
Isn’t this fairly disproven by science now and sperm fertilising an egg is now seen as more of a group effort?
The loss of roaming territory to the sedentary oppressors might also have something to do with the transition.
I accidentally beat the Mantis Triplets far earlier than I needed to because I couldn’t find the path into the ruined capital city I was meant to take.
Long route back to fighting the optional boss to enter a far too difficult zone for me. Only after beating them and discovering that that was not where I was meant to go did I backtrack and find the turning I’d missed to actually progress. (I rather liked Hollow Knight despite this, but you don’t and that’s fine. I just think it would be funny (, and a sign of poor map design if you made the same map reading error I did).)
