“Finnegans Wake is the greatest guidebook to media study ever fashioned by man.” - Marshall McLuhan, Newsweek Magazine, page 56, February 28, 1966.

I have never done LSD or any other illegal drugs, but I have read FInnegans Wake: www.LazyWake.com

I see you seek this kind of participation out. “On the internet, not everyone knows you’re an idiot.” being your profile statement. And that I’m not the first Lemmy community you have come along to concerning your copyright topics. Are you being paid by copyright holders to do this or something? Is it is some project or business to make USA copyright convention a world wide standard, ignoring that even in Joyce’s home focus of Ireland the work is no longer copyrighted?

Going around openly saying you are out to demonstrate other people are idiots… I think is a pretty well paved path to try and drag down societies in total.
“The chief deficiency I see in the skeptical movement is its polarization: Us vs. Them — the sense that we have a monopoly on the truth; that those other people who believe in all these stupid doctrines are morons; that if you’re sensible, you’ll listen to us; and if not, to hell with you. This is nonconstructive. It does not get our message across. It condemns us to permanent minority status.” ― Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark

Naughty naughty! Look, I like what you are doing but you should be aware if you aren’t already that you are posting copywritten material.

It was copyrighted at one time…

These works go into the public domain in 2035,

Are you sure about that? Do you know about Europe’s copyright dates? And further, are you basing that on 1939 copyright date… when I’m posting content from a decade earlier, 1928?

I can understand. Best of luck on what you do next.

If you truly start your site over with empty database… your post and comment id numbers and other things will clash… which kind of creates a mess. And obviously user accounts all have to be re-created. Sorry you ran into this mess.

ok, I’m not that great with grep, I suppose we could tell it to use only lines that start with 1 etc.

You seem willing to start over. You are now on PostgreSQL15.3 and Lemmy 0.18.4 - so it’s up to you.
