I just copy-pasted this article for my upcoming newsletter. But I couldn't copy your name or your Substack for some reason, sorry. Hope it's all good lolz. Bye!
Awhile back I was witness to one of the early copyright fights with google. It was this crazy math dude Norm Zadeh (son of the guy who invented fuzzy logic). If I remember the story right, he made a bucket of money on Wall Street derivatives and the like and fancying himself a mini Hugh Hefner, started a magazine called Perfect 10. You can imagine what that was about. Then his content started showing up on Google and he went on a lawsuit bender where I think he won at first and then Google got serious and it was over
I don't know that story yet, but now it's on my radar. One day, it'll be fun to do a study of lawsuits vs big tech firms. I think we are witnessing the slow birth of something akin to a nation-state in terms of power.

I see you've been "attributed" the same way I have over the years.
It's the kind of attribution that calls for a retribution.
I'mma gettin' no solution!
All we are saying is give attribution a chance. Srsly.
If past is prologue, not sure this will happen. Scroll your substack feed and find a mountain of content with no attribution.
Oh, I'm also not sure this will happen. I think it's now possible, though.
Wouldn't it be nice!
