I've seen + threads used elsewhere in a proper manner, but it may be necessary here to have it be more controlled by mods. Cumbersome, but if people are using it in a naughty word matter this will need resolving.

I agree a thread like that would be interesting, but it would involve discussion across political and legal lines as it'd be necessary to discuss copyright law versus the idea of copyleft versus freedom of expression versus everything else. I don't think that's appropriate for that forum from my...

It's relevant to having a conversation and considering the impact the idea of an artist having no control of their work after they publish it. It's fine if you don't want to discuss it, but it is relevant, and could have lead to something more fruitful.

Do you disagree with the concept of copyright law then especially as they stand now? Do you disagree with a principal of freedom of speech where one can be in control of redactions or changes to what they have said before? Does this apply to news articles, informative or non-artistic media...

So freedom of expression can be compromised by someone consenting to change something they wrote if another asks about it? So in effect - you can't ever take back something you wrote or change it once published, ever, because you're venturing into Orwellian territory - by doing something of...

Doesn't that lead to a form of censorship and forced speech where someone can't get rid of a work they wrote that they disagree with or simply don't want available now, or perhaps don't want to have on a particular format? That gets tricky and is an area where you have to apply nuance and is up...

Asking. Not forcing. Not even pushing for laws against the content. Not influencing unduly or in a deceptive manner. Not privately pushing people. Merely asking the publisher for this is against democratic freedom? No, I'm fairly sure acting like this and going in this extreme is...

How many people agree with you isn't a measure of whether your argument or actions are right or wrong. It's just a measure of how much people agree with you, and whether you are going to succeed or not in that action. It doesn't even say whether you're going to influence others or not. I...

Yes, I thought I made that clear in my post. Hell, in regards to innovation, there's a ton of jurisdictions where patents last about two or so decades already.

It is an improvement but it's only an improvement that happens if the right holder considers there to still be profit in publishing the work. There's a ton of media, good and bad, that isn't easily accessible without pirating or hard work. Are we entitled to do that? Maybe, but it's not related...

I wish there was an option of "I'm not sure" and "I'm not sure I can judge that in regards to it's target audience." Because to me this is going to be a complex adaption to pull off and not fall into the trap of being too much like a Guardians of the Galaxy spinoff or too like other offerings...

This is off topic - but I honestly feel that the solution to most issues in this area could be solved easily by massive change to copyright law; a way to make everyone happy. This has been something I've been thinking about a long time - and I will note I am biased as I have been raised during...

Criticism isn't censorship. Criticising that something is racist and problematic isn't censorship. Are you suggesting it is because it would be in the same product? Or does it even matter if it is in the same product to you - would this being outside the product being censorship? And how one...

This poll is damaged by not having a 'it depends' or a 'maybe' option. Broadly I agree. But it's possible for the execution to be poor or for the evil concept to be wallowed in. Or for the way to fight the obvious evil to be impiled to only be done in an acceptable, limited way. There's also...

How is that censorship? How can a report criticising, explaining and discussing the issues of the item censorship in any way of the word? Especially since in this case it's a document being put not in the same book, but being compiled along the original PDF?

It might be, but I feel sometimes it's good to open these cans. Get this out there, discuss it and find a course through. Though I should mention I am not Black, Asian or Native American. Though I feel dealing with past transphobia in books and discussing why it's bad and what we should do it...

I agree on all of those except 2 and I think I soft disagree on 6 / think it's more complex. My knowleldge of how significant GAZ10 is not there (I wasn't around for it, I have not done that research) and the more popular a piece is the more harm it can cause. However, to me, that isn't a...

I assume by area you mean a national area, and not a specific area within a national context I would not call this censorship, because one can assume that: a) turquoise ball fans can talk about it and presumably can still have their turquoise balls outside of said space b) they have an...

It's not as serious as an accusation and I hope I'm not painting you as something bad. I've asked for clarification and gotten it. I was trying to understand where you stood and why I found some of your earlier posts as not matching what you said earlier.

A petition? A demand for the book to be changed to include a conversation on it's cultural affect? I'm not sure there's a particularly concise word for what I'd call it?
