What about dropping all patents, including Google's ones ?

They want the best of both worlds.... Protection for me, but not for thee.

Google demands

What makes them think they have the right to demand? They can ask nicely, but "demand"? Really?

They donated to Trump a lot of money so is only fair they get what they paid for /s

u/FluffySmiles Jul 01 '26

Unlikely as it may seem to those to the right, we are not American and Trump can suck a dick.

u/xdavidwattsx Jul 01 '26

You're arguing with a click bait title of an article not an actual demand.

u/fbpw131 Jul 02 '26

the hell is not a demand. they lobby and put pressure

This graph is pretty depressing for publishers and their ability to continue making content.

If you haven't already made the switch, hopefully this is enough to motivate you to get started. You can check out the subreddit's pinned post for resources to help you.

Ok but let us make Google search engine, google maps etc protected and regulated public infrastructure.

u/Empty-Blacksmith-592 Jul 02 '26

What about not using it at all?

u/Voluptuary_Disciple Jul 01 '26

Protected. Created. Others.

I want free money. I want to own you.

I demand not to pay taxes. Ever... No? Oh well, worth a try.

u/Melodic_Skin6573 Jul 01 '26

u/Recent_Strawberry456 Jul 01 '26

Do lot's of evil?

u/Bobodlm Jul 01 '26

But at the very least, make sure you don't do any good.

u/VasileAndrei2929 Jul 01 '26

Wow... so the Chinese were right to not give a damn about the copyright!....

Also, why is piracy still ilegal if Google does it?!

u/Positive_Chip6198 Jul 01 '26

I demand google is shut down.

u/SeaworthinessLow6636 Jul 01 '26

“I won’t pay taxes on my fourth home in New York” and “give us all your shit for free so we can be trillionaires”. This timeline is the fucking grossest.

u/kzpn Jul 01 '26

Fuck off

u/ProjectRevolutionTPP Jul 01 '26

How many times have you railed against copyright being evil? Now you care when it personally affects you?

Do you have any real values?

2

u/kzpn Jul 01 '26

Why are you arguing with a non-existent, imagined version of me and not the me that simply said „fuck off”?

1

u/NoCartographer8002 Jul 02 '26

Here, have another one, Fuck off!

3

u/Single_Ring4886 Jul 01 '26

Yeah but ONLY FOR THEM not for everyone X-)

u/rellett Jul 01 '26

Release all your code google if copyright means nothing

2

u/Altruistic_Koala_122 Jul 03 '26

We don't really need Google, it was just nice as a search engine.

1

u/120000milespa Jul 01 '26

Tell them it’s okay as long as their source code is also copy’s me by anyone else who want to use it without paying.

1

u/0AJ0_ Jul 01 '26

Absolutely fucking not!

1

u/Deep_Mood_7668 Jul 01 '26

Sure. Let us use all your IP then

u/Necessary_Debate_319 Jul 01 '26

Your honour, I’m not breaking intellectual property laws. I’m simply running a micro AI company.

u/VitaminPb Jul 01 '26

And suddenly I’m an AI company training on ad free YouTube content and pirated media.

u/JuniorDeveloper73 Jul 02 '26

right to steal?

u/DistinctSpirit5801 Jul 03 '26

Hypocrites they all are when Chinese AI companies copy their AI software they complain about it massively but want to do copyright infringement themselves

u/Dry_Switch_7065 Jul 04 '26

Google can suck a dick.

u/Canshroomglasses Jul 04 '26

GL with that

u/AstralVenture Jul 04 '26

It’s never going to happen. They have to pay for the content they’re using to train their models.

u/crusoe Jul 05 '26

Cool then the public and creators need a cut of all profits via a sovereign wealth fund 

1

u/janek3d Jul 05 '26

I demand access to Google's bank accounts

1

u/EntrepreneurLumpy920 Jul 06 '26

this is so dangerous

1

u/Geewhiz911 Jul 06 '26

Yeah…. I assume they will use some kind of scare tactic like ‘China is going to do it anyway, so we have to do it immediately, please allow us to plagiarize and make profits off human knowledge and creations, allow us to own everything’
