NutMeg: The biggest joke is that there was a "open web" when the internet initially arrived, and Microsoft were amongst the first companies to quickly put a stop to it by slapping their copyright onto everything they could to prevent others from making free use of their software and coding.

Remember when a group of crypto bros bought a copy of 'Jodorowsky's Dune' for $3 million (around 100x more than it was worth) thinking they could turn it into NFTs and an animated series because they didn't understand what copyright is?

The Saga of the 'Dune' Crypto Bros And Their Very Pricey Mistake Is At Its Endwww.esquire.com In a dismal crypto climate, the group is looking to sell its 'Dune' bible and cash out its treasury. “Really wish this worked out better," the group co-founder said.

Interesting that the head of Microsoft AI doesn't understand what copyright is either. Tech bros as a group seem singularly stuck in the "mine!" stage of child development. www.theverge.com/2024/6/28/24...

Microsoft’s AI boss thinks it’s perfectly OK to steal content if it’s on the open webwww.theverge.com That is not how fair use works.

There is no such thing as "the open web." Every website, every webpage, every bit of data accessible via the web sits on a drive that somebody owns and, in many cases, someone else pays a fee to store it on. Just because I don't fence off my front lawn doesn't mean that Microsoft can steal it.
