It’s just sort of a non sequitur if it’s about Trump - this is an article about picking a candidate to maximize Dem chances of beating Trump, neither side of the argument on who that should be wants Trump.

That sounds more like Trump than Biden. The trouble is Trump is probably what we’ll get if Biden doesn’t suck it up and drop out of the race.

The hope is that he steps down as the nominee for the good of the country and thus improves our chances of beating Trump.

This was just a better article than the CNN one, and there are no direct links to the interviews Campos did with the medical professionals here.

No copyright is about the “right” to “copy” the work in question, not the attribution. Works that are in the public domain still list the author.

Shortening the time is good, and adjusting it while it still does apply to allow for more legal free sharing of the work.

Eliminating copyright doesn’t mean they’d be allowed to lie about who wrote what they were publishing. Anything an artist creates blowing up and gaining wide appreciation is very good for that artist’s future prospects. An artist who is spreading their work for free anyway is much better off in the scenario where there’s no copyright and everyone understands the need to tip / patronize their favorite artists.

Yeah they’re pretty reliable - it’s the group blog of a bunch of professors. And of course the piece is filled with input from medical experts, and links to a CNN report on the same topic if that’s more your speed.

If you are already sharing something for free in order to gain publicity, what is the downside of others repackaging them and spreading them further? That is exactly the kind of publicity you’re trying to gain.

“your proposal would harm young artists who need to share their works in order to gain publicity for something they intend to sell and sustain themselves on.”

The default is already for young artists to share a lot of their work hoping to get noticed. Getting rid of copyright would be reorienting the whole system to center that experience more rather than the established artists and art producing corporations who now are in a strong enough position to charge. “Making it” would just mean that your patreon was doing gangbusters rather than selling a lot of copies of whatever your art is.
