Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Please also avoid duplicates.
Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

How on earth did it take so long? I’ve been copystruck by these assholes at least three or four dozen times in the 30 years I’ve been pirating … Stuff.
Metallica loves imperialism for the most part, that's how.
Owning the rights to copy and distribute your own creative works = imperialism
Policing the speech of other people = authoritarianism, yes.
Copyright is a government-granted (and enforced) monopoly. Under anarchy, no one would benefit from copyright protection, at least not the same way we have it now.
People could voluntarily police their own speech to stay in an association... but I don't know how/if that would scale.
