Efforts to use technology to police copyright evolved into companies using copyright law to lock people out of repairing their own devices.

    It’s also total bullshit how they can just film in a public street and include anyone that happens to pass by in their movie without paying them, but as soon as a famous person’s face gets shown they demand royalties.

        Right, because that’s obviously destroying content-creation jobs while AI scraping is somehow great

          AI corporate executives are too rich to be legally responsible for their crimes, just like those on the Epstein files

    Great article. I highly recommend Corey Doctorow’s book called ‘Enshittification’ for more on this phenomenon

      This isn’t really enshittification, though. People used to always have the right to self repair. That right got curtailed once it became a threat to profit margins.

      This is a law issue.

          The book is a deep dive into intellectual property law?
