The insulin one is making my head spin. We need a patent... for medicine. I don’t know what to blame, so I’ll just blame the world. Edit: I knew Adobe was always evil. Patents for... features that should be used in multiple programs. Sickening.
Actually you do not need patents for medicine at least, you could publicly fund laboratories with "bounties" if one laboratory develops a recipe for let's say insulin, it receives a hefty bounty, and 5% of the benefits of all sales from his recipe for about 10 years, but anybody can use that recipe, the laboratory is entitled to some of the benefits, but not to decide who uses it, and only entitled for a fixed period, the hefty bounty would be to put economic stimulus so they can start developing another thing. That could work to create medicines without patents, by bounties and fixed profit margins, it would still be attractive to develop medicines economically, and you will be forced to compete to be the first to develop so you can receive the bounty, but still want to make a good product so it is sold by retailers and you take profit of the 5%. Medicine is one of the fields where it works best publicly than market based, to start with it is morally wrong to profit in a way that does not maximize the use of medicine, not everybody needs a tv, so it is alright to profit from being a douche in that, but when someone is ill they need the medicine, there is no profit to be made there, it is just a resource sink for society, and the market and resource sinks mix together like oil and water.

@Esteb5n Caballero I think that is the best take. I understand the business reasons for patenting utilities - you have to earn money off an idea somehow, right? However in reality all it really accomplishes is abusing the market and holding back the progression of technology, as shown in the above video. But, I still think there is value in copyright laws for creative content. Otherwise big companies can just steal ideas from independent creators (or other big companies) and make money off them without giving a cent to the creator. This WOULD encourage competition to move from ‘owning the big IPs’ to creating higher quality art, but ultimately it still gives companies the ability to exploit the little guys - the opposite of what abolishing patents would achieve. Unique has identified a problem, but I don’t think in this or any previous videos of his has he nailed the solution. That said I haven’t had time yet to watch the video after this talking about the topic again, and I respect immensely that he’s putting his money where his mouth is, so maybe I’ll change my mind and comment back here with some different thoughts
@@williamt.sherman9841 They do expire, 10 years is the standard, the thing is they are really specific so you can continually hog the patents by making minute changes. And big companies usually have the resources to do this for a while and make any competition struggle to find something they can use.
While the intellectual copyright argument is a strong one, the main reason there hasn’t been a viable competitor to TH-cam is because hosting video is *really* expensive. New companies just don’t have the funds to host video on a large of a scale as TH-cam does.
That is correct, but his point was that even if you DO manage to replicate everything that TH-cam did then it would still be a pain in the arse because of IP (from what I understand)
@@bobvance8915 I don't understand that point. Don't the youtubers and media companies that make the content own it, not TH-cam. I thought TH-cam was just a platform.
@@deus_ex_machina_ In the TH-cam terms of service you're giving up your rights to anything you upload. I don't think that'd hold infront of a judge though. The problem brought up in the video is, that replicating youtube outside of google is essentially impossible, because you'd have to get permission from every major youtuber
You know how there's really only one cable company in your area because they talk with every other cable company and agree to stay out of each others' turf? It's kinda like that, but in every industry. The big corporations form a cartel and block upstarts from entering the market (usually with help from the government).
Only through help with the government. Cartels can’t survive without some form of law or regulation prohibiting competition. There is no way for them to form a cartel in a free market without actually supplying competitive quality product for competitive prices, which means they are not a cartel, just a good consumer-oriented business.
@@graystone2802 not true, youtube is effectively a monopoly yet they don't have almost any help from the government, the reason being that the business model of youtube requires content creators, and the more content creators you have the more advertisers you'll have. Someone could make a youtube competitor (like many have tried), but because of youtube's significant amount of advertisers and content creators you won't attract advertisers cuz no content, and vice versa. Its a positive feedback loop. If you were to make a platform focused on the content creators in hopes of the creators jumping ship, you'd still need some sort of monetization program to give the crestors money for making stuff, and why would I as an advertiser go to vimeo, when I have 2 billion users whose data is completely known and tracked (because they're a subsidiary of google), which will give me the ability to not only advertise to a way bigger audience, but also to perfectly customize my ads, and to whom they're targeted for. And as long as youtube keeps their rates low for ads, and treats their creators with average service they're in no position to ever lose their market position.
*the American government. This is the exact reason there are virtually no European Fortune 500 companies. Anti-monopoly, and severe crackdown on cartels makes the European market much freer and more competitive than the Amercian one, despite being "socialist".
@@absolutefocus2749 TH-cam is owned by google. And TH-cam isn’t necessarily a monopoly, they simply deliver the best service to the most amount of consumers. Think about what TH-cam offers in terms of knowledge for such a small price. Also, advertisers go everywhere, if there’s 100,000 people using vimeo, that’s a market for advertisers regardless of how many people are using TH-cam.
@@wojciechmuras553 anti-monopoly doesn’t make an economy more free, anti-monopoly is government intervention that rarely accomplishes what it aims to. Certain parts of Europe are no doubt free-er markets than America, but their lack of cartels is not the result of effective anti-cartel legislation lol. America has drug cartels because drugs are illegal. America has insulin cartels because replicating it is illegal. Sweden doesn’t have cartels because they don’t put arbitrary regulations and restrictions on industries that are easily exploitable

@@mikoi7472 Yeah I bet Adobe spent millions and millions of dollars on snapping two rectangles together on a computer screen. Obviously they deserve to be the only ones who can do that...
@@vesk4000 They do deserve that because they created it first. When their patent expires then you can have it too in your system. Just because you've become accustom to something existing does not then mean that you have a right to it. The time it takes to code and implement these things isn't nothing. Maybe actually try to create this yourself without using prior code.
This is what we in the business call "a good take." Copyright and Patent seem like a method for creating parity between small, independent creators and large corporations, but you can't judge a policy solely by its intentions while ignoring its actual consequences. Time and time again, we've seen how more expansive intellectual "property" protections end up concentrating power and wealth in the hands of large, monopolistic organizations, while undercutting the ability of creators to actually be independent.

That's....not how it works. If cures existed they would be available for absurd prices. Look at insulin, it's marked up huge amounts in the US. This "there's cures for everything" like falls apart with the barest of scrutiny. If there were, they'd do what they do with all other drugs, renew the patents indefinitely while making minor, inconsequential changes.

It brings so much joy too see more creators take the public domain route. Corporations will not protect the interests of the artist, if you're looking for a simple assurance that someone's not going to replicate your work, the only thing that will help you is keeping the ideas in the public space where a company cannot monopolize on it's existence.
You're reminding me of the situation unfolding right now between Marvel corporate and the comic artists and writers who for years have built it up for what it is today, and the fact that a hollywood blockbuster with the marvel logo on it will make millions if not billions but the original comic creator who came up with the idea gets next to nothing (which is why an exodus of comic artists is making news), in royalties.

Fast paced information right in my face about the horrors patents and why everything is on fire and expensive all at once... Why is this so deeply satisfying to watch?
I agree, but it’s also important to note that firms can be anti-competitive without government. A free market does not necessitate a competitive market. Miner towns have shown that when you have completely unchecked private power you can come to pretty grim living conditions.
Nevertheless, I personally believe that a corrupt system with bad regulations is worse than a market with no restraints: as long as the government is the one with the army and not the companies, they can't stop people from rioting or trashing their stores/offices if they _seriously_ cross the line. Y'know? Of course, a government that actually did it's job rather than such chaos would be ideal. America could become more like their European counterparts.
it's nice to see more artists and writers moving towards public domain and copyleft with their work. seems people are finally learning their lesson. i hope some day it will be impossible to get anyone to view or listen to your stuff if it isn't free.

Adding my 2 cents as a programmer and game dev to this Open source has already proven to be a very damn good system, to the point that even huge greedy corpos are adopting it (like Google with Android)
adding my two cents as a programmer and game dev myself... You do not seem to be aware that open source and public domain are fundamentally not even remotely the same thing? In fact it's the differences between them that are the primary reason "huge and greedy corpos are adopting it". Open source could not exist without copyright, open source is literally a kind of license, and you don't need a license for works in the public domain. Open source is a way to share your work but control how it's used. controlling how your work is used is literally what intellectual property rights are for.
The simple example for this can be the Japanese music sector and the Korean music sector. For people who do not know Japan has a really difficult tough to crack music copyright system and Korea has a very lax one because of that when a kpop group make a Korean,English or any other language except Japanese album you can find every song in the album everywhere including TH-cam, movies , series, variety shows etc. When those same group make a Japanese album you cant find it anywhere except spotify,they even shorten the mv. If you publish it they will get rid of the video immediately. But here is the catch Japan albums usually isnt known even in the fandom itself. So Korean digital albums sell like hotcakes all around the world while Japanese ones sold just in Japan since no one else knows.

The insulin one is making my head spin. We need a patent... for medicine.
I don’t know what to blame, so I’ll just blame the world.
Edit: I knew Adobe was always evil. Patents for... features that should be used in multiple programs. Sickening.
Actually you do not need patents for medicine at least, you could publicly fund laboratories with "bounties" if one laboratory develops a recipe for let's say insulin, it receives a hefty bounty, and 5% of the benefits of all sales from his recipe for about 10 years, but anybody can use that recipe, the laboratory is entitled to some of the benefits, but not to decide who uses it, and only entitled for a fixed period, the hefty bounty would be to put economic stimulus so they can start developing another thing.
That could work to create medicines without patents, by bounties and fixed profit margins, it would still be attractive to develop medicines economically, and you will be forced to compete to be the first to develop so you can receive the bounty, but still want to make a good product so it is sold by retailers and you take profit of the 5%.
Medicine is one of the fields where it works best publicly than market based, to start with it is morally wrong to profit in a way that does not maximize the use of medicine, not everybody needs a tv, so it is alright to profit from being a douche in that, but when someone is ill they need the medicine, there is no profit to be made there, it is just a resource sink for society, and the market and resource sinks mix together like oil and water.
Everything wrong with the world can be traced to greed. Not the good kind like I want to do well and live nicely... the unrelenting, excessive excessive, gluttonous, INSATIABLE, vacuous bottomless abyss of absolute LUST for more and more and more and more and more money and power.

@Esteb5n Caballero Patents should expire. I can see value in it for a few years but they should not last forever.
@Esteb5n Caballero I think that is the best take. I understand the business reasons for patenting utilities - you have to earn money off an idea somehow, right? However in reality all it really accomplishes is abusing the market and holding back the progression of technology, as shown in the above video.
But, I still think there is value in copyright laws for creative content. Otherwise big companies can just steal ideas from independent creators (or other big companies) and make money off them without giving a cent to the creator. This WOULD encourage competition to move from ‘owning the big IPs’ to creating higher quality art, but ultimately it still gives companies the ability to exploit the little guys - the opposite of what abolishing patents would achieve. Unique has identified a problem, but I don’t think in this or any previous videos of his has he nailed the solution. That said I haven’t had time yet to watch the video after this talking about the topic again, and I respect immensely that he’s putting his money where his mouth is, so maybe I’ll change my mind and comment back here with some different thoughts
The real problem is lobbying.
@@williamt.sherman9841 They do expire, 10 years is the standard, the thing is they are really specific so you can continually hog the patents by making minute changes. And big companies usually have the resources to do this for a while and make any competition struggle to find something they can use.
While the intellectual copyright argument is a strong one, the main reason there hasn’t been a viable competitor to TH-cam is because hosting video is *really* expensive. New companies just don’t have the funds to host video on a large of a scale as TH-cam does.
That is correct, but his point was that even if you DO manage to replicate everything that TH-cam did then it would still be a pain in the arse because of IP (from what I understand)

You know how there's really only one cable company in your area because they talk with every other cable company and agree to stay out of each others' turf? It's kinda like that, but in every industry. The big corporations form a cartel and block upstarts from entering the market (usually with help from the government).
Only through help with the government. Cartels can’t survive without some form of law or regulation prohibiting competition. There is no way for them to form a cartel in a free market without actually supplying competitive quality product for competitive prices, which means they are not a cartel, just a good consumer-oriented business.
@@graystone2802 not true, youtube is effectively a monopoly yet they don't have almost any help from the government, the reason being that the business model of youtube requires content creators, and the more content creators you have the more advertisers you'll have. Someone could make a youtube competitor (like many have tried), but because of youtube's significant amount of advertisers and content creators you won't attract advertisers cuz no content, and vice versa. Its a positive feedback loop. If you were to make a platform focused on the content creators in hopes of the creators jumping ship, you'd still need some sort of monetization program to give the crestors money for making stuff, and why would I as an advertiser go to vimeo, when I have 2 billion users whose data is completely known and tracked (because they're a subsidiary of google), which will give me the ability to not only advertise to a way bigger audience, but also to perfectly customize my ads, and to whom they're targeted for. And as long as youtube keeps their rates low for ads, and treats their creators with average service they're in no position to ever lose their market position.
*the American government. This is the exact reason there are virtually no European Fortune 500 companies. Anti-monopoly, and severe crackdown on cartels makes the European market much freer and more competitive than the Amercian one, despite being "socialist".

Think about what TH-cam offers in terms of knowledge for such a small price. Also, advertisers go everywhere, if there’s 100,000 people using vimeo, that’s a market for advertisers regardless of how many people are using TH-cam.
@@wojciechmuras553 anti-monopoly doesn’t make an economy more free, anti-monopoly is government intervention that rarely accomplishes what it aims to. Certain parts of Europe are no doubt free-er markets than America, but their lack of cartels is not the result of effective anti-cartel legislation lol. America has drug cartels because drugs are illegal. America has insulin cartels because replicating it is illegal. Sweden doesn’t have cartels because they don’t put arbitrary regulations and restrictions on industries that are easily exploitable

This is what we in the business call "a good take." Copyright and Patent seem like a method for creating parity between small, independent creators and large corporations, but you can't judge a policy solely by its intentions while ignoring its actual consequences. Time and time again, we've seen how more expansive intellectual "property" protections end up concentrating power and wealth in the hands of large, monopolistic organizations, while undercutting the ability of creators to actually be independent.
My question is, what is it the solution for this problem? Is there any way to bypass the abuse of intellectual property and patents?

You're reminding me of the situation unfolding right now between Marvel corporate and the comic artists and writers who for years have built it up for what it is today, and the fact that a hollywood blockbuster with the marvel logo on it will make millions if not billions but the original comic creator who came up with the idea gets next to nothing (which is why an exodus of comic artists is making news), in royalties.

Fast paced information right in my face about the horrors patents and why everything is on fire and expensive all at once...
Why is this so deeply satisfying to watch?
I agree, but it’s also important to note that firms can be anti-competitive without government. A free market does not necessitate a competitive market. Miner towns have shown that when you have completely unchecked private power you can come to pretty grim living conditions.
How can a firm be anti-competitive without government?
Nevertheless, I personally believe that a corrupt system with bad regulations is worse than a market with no restraints: as long as the government is the one with the army and not the companies, they can't stop people from rioting or trashing their stores/offices if they _seriously_ cross the line. Y'know?

Adding my 2 cents as a programmer and game dev to this
Open source has already proven to be a very damn good system, to the point that even huge greedy corpos are adopting it (like Google with Android)
i like open source too cos i learned to program on scratch and when i wirte proper code i like people seeing my code
adding my two cents as a programmer and game dev myself... You do not seem to be aware that open source and public domain are fundamentally not even remotely the same thing? In fact it's the differences between them that are the primary reason "huge and greedy corpos are adopting it".
Open source could not exist without copyright, open source is literally a kind of license, and you don't need a license for works in the public domain. Open source is a way to share your work but control how it's used. controlling how your work is used is literally what intellectual property rights are for.
The simple example for this can be the Japanese music sector and the Korean music sector. For people who do not know Japan has a really difficult tough to crack music copyright system and Korea has a very lax one because of that when a kpop group make a Korean,English or any other language except Japanese album you can find every song in the album everywhere including TH-cam, movies , series, variety shows etc.
When those same group make a Japanese album you cant find it anywhere except spotify,they even shorten the mv. If you publish it they will get rid of the video immediately. But here is the catch Japan albums usually isnt known even in the fandom itself. So Korean digital albums sell like hotcakes all around the world while Japanese ones sold just in Japan since no one else knows.

As much as I love taking CorpoTube down a peg I think that might have to do with the lack of uploads while he was working on the studio, rather than deliberate suppression. The algorithym is known to be biased against people who don't have frequent semi regular uploads just by default rather than the deliberate suppression that CorpoTube has been doing of late, not that I blame you for thinking it's suppression, the benefit of the doubt has been long destroyed by now.
Thank you for mentioning Violet Evergarden, even if it is in a negative context
Evergreening: The act of getting products stuck with you.
This video speaks to me on a spiritual level.
Me who is pleasantly surprised by the ending: "YO HO, YO HO!!!"
your new webcomic series is public domain you say? this means that all fan art of it is not illegal by law! Unlike all other fan art of popular IP which is technically illegal due to the artists not having permission of the creators.
amazing video! I'm wishing for success when it comes to your web comic.
This public domain stuff is quite interesting. It might prove to be a good experiment for whether or not something like this is even viable
First video I've ever saw of this channel, and it was an easy subcribe!
Thank you for being a voice of reason in this lunatic world.
I have no recollection of this man but am I glad TH-cam remembered I was subscribed. "BASED as fuck" as one of the top commenters so aptly put it.
That said, it's unfortunate how this seemingly fell out of the algorithm's favour. I hope it still blows up somehow.
Edit: looking at the amount pledged to the patreon with this few views does give me hope, though.
The inner Richard Stallman in me is screaming at this video.
He warned us all
"...and why high demand products can take years to get to your video game platform, or just never at all." (shows picture of bloodborne)
pain
Subscribed explicitly for the brass balls of that final gambit. I wish you unlimited success in your creative endeavors.
You are the first yt I have watched in a long time that I don’t have to speed up because they talk too fkn slow and my neuro divergency thanks you for it 😩
proof positive that "theft" is the only ethical manner of consumption in some cases.
I hate them because I waste to much time on them , and they’re greedy companies.
While I will judge you silently for falling into an addiction of bauble entertainment and slumping into docility from the finely tuned efforts to make you into as much it must be said that escape is ultimatly up to you and you alone taking up that path but if nothing else and you still choose to be planted down with hours of your time taken up please by god have adblocks, 15 seconds off your life's time is not with it.
@@joshuamitchell5018 lol I put a time block on the ones I’m most addicted to and less productive so now I only spend a little amount of time on each. But I might have to put one on YT now, also adblock will always be on 24/7.
@@joshuamitchell5018 I don’t know if anyone has ever told you this but you come off as a pretentious nerd. No one likes a nerd.
@@Lulu_Lime "addiction of bauble entertainment and slump into docility" is one of the most pretentious sentences I've seen in a while lmao
All companies are equally greedy
I paused when you put up the example videos for TH-cam and you have some good taste sir
Massive MASSIVE respect to all creators willing to put their work as public domain or creative commons.
Instant like and subscribe here from that alone.
Side note, a lot of what you said can apply to the housing market as well.
Yes houses can be replicated, but the barriers to entry are high, as well as a recent trend of amateur investors buying second homes on a mortgage and renting the house out for the cost of their mortgage plus profit. It has literally doubled the price of rent for a lot of people..
3:37 i don’t know about that one. I mean, snapping (magnet icon) is clearly disabled there in affinity photo and one click away, idk about the other ones though. In fact, Serif’s suite offers more controllable and reliable snapping than Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator, they’re way more configurable but less intuitive.
Also you got me there. I was so sure you were finally going to come out as a pastafarian when I first seen your inner pirate, what a disappointment.
Legally they are Trusts.
>I am pro piracy

Wow. And I ALREADY thought copyright law was bullshit. This just makes it WORSE.
Me before watching the video: "Let me guess, monopolizing features..."
Me after the video: "AYE!"
This is brilliant. I'll share this video to all my buddies to help spread the message
yo, this got added to my ethical discourse playlist, and you got a sub for the research. gj
"[...] and that webcomic, and everything that comes out of that studio, is public domain."
English does not have words I need to express how admirable and impressive I find those words, so I'll say it to you in Spanish: ole tus cojones, bravo.
I didn't even realize who's video I was watching until I read the comments.
Love how 80 people have already decided to like it before it even begins
the free program Gimp is so much more user-friendly and easy to work with than Photoshop, but Photoshop has all those cool (apparently patented) features so I don't really have a choice not to get it (though I'm still definitely holding onto Gimp to use for some projects)
I have no clue when I subscribed, but this is SUCH prime content!!
Maybe one day we can find the one piece until then we have to endure these draconic laws
The worst part is when a platform DOES get attention and popularity, they might still get bullied into submission (Parlor for instance. I'm having a hard time remembering the previous services that were bullied off the web. Some for more political reasons but all the same.)
Parlor had the issue of attracting all the people who got kicked off other options
Parlor was basically mainstream 8chan.
Nobody wants to host that shit, and it's totally legitimate if they dont want to.
@@RFLCPTR None of the other social media platforms like facebook, twitter, etc. were any better than Parlor in the beginning and their content is still not any better. Terrorists planing on facebook, hatemobs rampaging on Twitter... And the fucking Tech cartell owning all hosting services, based in the western world, so they can just remove any competitor, when they get too big.
@@mathis8210 Oh yeah, fuck capitalism.
Still, its about the concentration.
The concentration of straight up fascist content on parlor in relation to the rest of the platfork was way higher than on other platforms.
Same problem with 4 and 8chan
2:35 What? Krita has snapping, that's like, a super duper basic feature. It's even on by default, how do you not have it
Edit: I know, small nitpick in a big video, but I wanted to point it out anyway.
I guess Adobe has simply decided to not sue them yet.
@@SchemingGoldberg as long as krita does not get big enough. It wont get sued.
Affinity Photo has it too. Now I would not trust everything they said in the video.
@@ColdNorth0628 It's kinda big tho. Just the subreddit alone has 45k members, the Photoshop sub has 363k members for comparison. Plus it's free, so of course it's going to have a lot more people using it instead of anything that costs money, so I'm not so sure about that
Have never heard of this channel but I adore this video. Amazing stuff
Awesome analysis
