Presumably tillable will make the same dela to every landowner in the area, reducing the competition between landowner and therefore enabling the increase in prices.

In essence, tillable becomes the only landowner

You're assuming that copyright is the only way to make money out of writing, which is simply untrue.

Thats not true at all, companies are in no way obligated to pay dividends

Its a good time. Divide your savings over a couple of months, and every week put in a bit to DCA into the market

How about all the mass surveillance programs the EU has been funding for decades that do use facial recognition?

The EU has funded research on mass surveillance that use facial recognition for decades.

All transactions are already supposed to be reported so I'm not sure in what way you wouldn't be able to acquire the exact same information using the current regulatory requirements, so I'm not too keen on your stance here.

Fun to make too, though it does take a while to get it up and running

If it can be subject to restrictions then it is simply not a fundamental right, it is merely a privilege.

Thats stupid, there nothing wrong with violating IP laws, regardless of who did it first.

They are having data about themselves collected without their consent. That is the harm.

Probably in much the same way people today cry out about freedom of speech in china, while labeling restrictions on speech at home as acceptable (or not even restrictions at all!)

At the end of the day all of these high minded ideals are just excuses to justify ones own actions and world views.

That's a good thing. The risk of assassination is a core component of the balance of power between the state and the people.

Secrecy has no place in the search for justice.

Given that american patent law was created originally as a copy of british patent law, through the statute of Anne, that distinction is irrelevant or even misleading.

Dude ...

This comes off as incredibly self-entitled and arrogant.

That ~~piece of art~~ bag of Rice? It takes years and tremendous amount of people hours to bring these ~~films~~ grains of rice into existence your enjoyment. I grew up in ~~Hollywood~~ a farm, in family of ~~filmmakers~~ farmers.

Yes. The system isn’t perfect, but ... what you’re doing is quite frankly, stealing. It’s offensive. We’re entitled to our livelihoods as much as you are.

Show some gratitude please.

Now that I have changed the object that is "being protected", do you see how unreasonable and senseless your argument is?

Those arguments you used could be used exactly as they are to argue for any monopoly whatsoever, and then we would all be worse off.
