> Funny how advocates against property rights have no issue with corporations protecting their own

Are you just not aware that the most outspoken advocates against private property (and rights to it, including IP/copyright), also strongly oppose capitalism and the idea of corporations?

The movement against ip has been hijacked by those who wish to exploit creators. People advocating for the abolition of property are useful idiots. Corporations know that the biggest threat of ip is to them not to us. By being able to protect what’s ours means we can leverage the vast knowledge we’ve created by building open source models that make services provided by many knowledge corporations redundant. Ironically the only way to abolish ip according to our terms is by not abolishing ip. We can leverage it to explicitly prevent corporations from using open licensed code unless they too open their models. That’s the idea.

However, I am strongly against using artist or writer work against their will. That also benefits corporations. Also ironic that we can use against them the play they used against us. Imagine open models that the artist or legal or writing community can use but not corporations unless they open their models.
