      Honestly I'm not even that moved by the "orphaned works" argument anymore Unless the orphaned work in question contains the cure for cancer it's not that big a deal I can easily imagine authors deliberately "orphaning" their works and I think they have a right to

      It's part of the general "right to be forgotten" If I wrote a shitty novel fifteen years ago that got published but never sold well, I have the right to say "I want this permanently taken out of print until 70 years after I die"

      Why is it so fucking important that everything be available to your greedy prying eyes Is the entertainment or scholarly of historical value of every "lost" book so great that the consent of the actual human being who made it doesn't matter to you Fuck you man

          Not everyone is a public figure or a presidential candidate and not everything needs to be preserved in the fucking Wayback Machine to "hold people accountable" This panopticon culture the techbros have built is fucking sick and it's driving us all crazy

          When Franz Kafka told Max Brod he wanted all his unpublished manuscripts burned after he died, Max should have fucking done it That's what a friend does

          What he actually did was really shitty and as much as I love Kafka's work we should all be reading it with at least a twinge of guilt It's not fucking okay

          Leftists saying that authors exerting copyright are "cops" jfc If you read the definition of "commodity fetishism" there is no clearer textbook example of it than saying stupid shit like "Kafka's books are bigger than the man who wrote them, they belong to the world"

          "The joy and insight gained from the product of labor is of greater value than the pain the labor exacts on the person laboring" That's what a capitalist says, you're a capitalist, go fuck yourself

          If I want to charge TEN MILLION DOLLARS to read my writing, or INFINITE MONEY (i.e. no one is ever allowed to read it, it gets burned) that is my right "Hurr no one wants to read it anyway" Good, fuck off

          Really weird take. It’s not just books that are orphaned. It’s recorded media that is decaying in storage. You want to make a provision in copyright law that your shitty book should be forgotten? Fine. But don’t throw out the works of people who did want their material to live on

          Orphaned works that were orphaned as a side effect of corporate personhood and work-for-hire are a different matter (the rightsholder is a company that ceased to exist) But that should really be the exception or loophole in copyright or droits d'auteur, not vice versa
