  • Jesus Christ. Have people never heard of covers? Every song here is in some way or another akin to a published cover of another song. Pretty bad ones at that. Obviously if it were matching the songs one for one, then it would be considered copywrite enforceable but realistically these would be more along the lines of copywrite abuse. The music labels would absolutely love for this precedent to be set so that anything even that remotely resembles anything ever made will allow them to own new independent artists within established genres.

    The cases

    Here is a list of cases that set precedent. The thing that connects them all and makes them relevant is that the defendant was either successful, made a lot of money, was very popular or it was the label attacking a artist for sounding like themself after leaving the band. See John Fogerty v. John Fogerty


  • Yeah, I’ve been testing nouveau with NVK+zinc. Can definitely confirm that the Nvidia open source drivers are getting better and it’s happening fast. Desktop experience is nearly flawless now except quite a few games still don’t work and Nvidia specific features are disabled(cuda, rtx, dlss). AMD is def the way to go for a good experience on Linux.

    I’m just hoping to see things change seeing as Nvidia hired the nouveau maintainer and he has been contributing directly to nouveau using his Nvidia provided email here as of late.
