You're right. Tony's Chocolonely is Dutch. Mea Culpa. Mijn fout. My bad. Whatever.
BTW, Lindt owns Ghirardelli now, and Lindt is a Swiss company. But if you're going to call Ghirardelli Swiss chocolate, you might as well call Coors and Budweiser Belgian beer.
Your definition of “copyleft” is wrong. It basically means “Creative Commons attribution-sharealike” for non-software works of authorship and the Limited General Public Licence for Software. Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial licenses are not copyleft as they are incompatible with BY-SA licenses and the GPL, and cannot be used by them.
It’s quite interesting that 15 years ago major labels ignored the demand for DRM-free music because almost 13 years ago in 2009 all online music stores were DRM-free, including Apple iTunes.
Waiting for the "Hershey's makes me want to vomit" from the UK TechDirt contingent in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1...
In all seriousness, though, Hershey's in the wrong vis-a-vis trademarks here though, no matter what I think about their chocolate products (which I do buy to be perfectly frank, even though Tony's Chocolonely tastes better IMHO).
The first Winnie-The-Pooh story was copyrighted in 1926, as was the English version of Bambi in the US (the ninth circuit court ruled in Twin Books v. Disney that the book was copyrighted in the US in 1926 instead of 1923, otherwise we'd have it in the public domain a lot sooner. Oh well! Better late than never!).
It's really awesome when two Disney characters enter the public domain in the same year, even if it's not the big one from 1928.
I think Mr. Masnick is talking about the original one. To wit, if the original Flat Earth Society is the Foucault Pendulum, the one as of late is the Da Vinci Code.
I'm glad he's speaking out too. If far too many people won't listen to sex workers, won't they at least listen to recovering substance abusers? If not, §230 "reform" is not about solving problems but creating new ones.
I looked at the Pappas Burger logo, and yeah, I can see how a passerby would be confused, so I think Pappas is in the right here. Then again, if "pappas" and "Papa's" were pronounced differently, I stand corrected.
You and everyone else on this site knows what’s meant by “Protocols, Not Platforms.”
I read the paper. That's clearly not what he means. While Mike isn't opposed to web3 as much as you and I are, you're being more than extremely disingenuous if cryptocurrency is the end-all-be-all of the next generation of protocols.

As I said (erm, typed) in the post above, try Tony’s Chocolonely. It couldn’t be further from Hershey’s and it tastes great!

There's also such a thing as "voice actors" and "impressionists". Those are decidedly low-tech options for compromising a voice-lock.

You can have protocols without web3 or cryptocurrency. HTTP is a protocol. As is TCP/IP. As is RSS.
Next time, argue for a more cogent argument.
