Was thinking of this after a conversation I had on a thread about dreams. Someone joked “I was dreaming of the events of The Matrix, then I was woken up by someone worried my dream was infringing the Wachowski’s copyrights”, and it turned into a whole train of thought in my mind, like violating IP law because you stole fire from Zeus which was his intellectual property.
Parents have to pay a fee for the firstname they give their kids. Popular firstnames cost more, gross ones cost less.
The kids themselves have to pay again for it monthly, their whole live long.
This might be the only valid reason to ever name a kid “Jayrahmyie”
Now everyone is going for this and they’re gonna charge more WHAT HAVE YOU DONE
Made themself a mint, that’s what.
Lineages could claim copyright of children and their works as derivative. Entire families could claim copyright of their descendants and all works related. Each new generation resets the timer on expiration if the copyright expirations still apply.
Getting sued for sitting down to poop in a similar position as done in some movie
Royalties every time you use a line from a Disney musical in spoken conversation
I actually think this backfires on most of you. Copyright law makes everything public domain after a period of time, Johnny Fires kids will be able to trade for all the first professionals in the world. But Life +70 years after currency is invented, anyone can print cash and trade falls apart and services and materials are the only thing if value. Copyright laws broken :shrug:
LOL copyright law isn’t the only law that says you can’t print your own money
Damn, if only someone had asked a hypothetical question wherein copyright law controls everything.
Oh well, that’ll never happen.
Good thing you were here to rectify such a foolish mistake.
