eriscon is not happening
In that world there is still the first mover incentive, if it takes users a week to get the file, you've won. And there would also be a sort of "second mover incentive" to not publish instructions/tools for cracking the DRM since you can legally put up a cheaper competing DRM-ed streaming service by "stealing" content from the first one.

@eris@p.enes.lv @eric@pl.starnix.network @Suiseiseki@freesoftwareextremist.com @maija@netzsphaere.xyz let's see, what if we look it in another way, would there be more incentives to make free-software in that world compared to the current one?

@eris@p.enes.lv @eric@pl.starnix.network @Suiseiseki@freesoftwareextremist.com @maija@netzsphaere.xyz ok then the question goes around too, because why would i as a client, would buy your software if i can probably find the same thing for free in a while? like, what is the value I'm getting from our transaction?
Make no mistake I'm not trying to attack your argument, we probably agree on the freedom part, all I want is for everyone to have more freedom, and that means having more incentives to create and use free software, because you can't never have too many for those

ok then the question goes around too, because why would i as a client, would buy your software if i can probably find the same thing for free in a while? like, what is the value I'm getting from our transaction?Same as our world. Maybe there just isn't any good free alternatives, maybe you've gotten vendor-locked due to being taught only how to use my photo editing tool. And if you mean "why can't I just legally torrent the file", you can but you won't get support and timely enough updates due to it being non-free. I guess this kinda sounds like RedHat's business model lmfao, so you can definitely do that with normal free software, just easier with proprietary as you keep the source locked away in a safe.
Perhaps what we have to look at not incentives to write free software but disincentives to write proprietary software? Lack of copyright protections would make proprietary source harder to protect -- you'd have to employ top of the line obfuscation methods and if your source code gets leaked, lol lmao. That extra effort and cost might be enough to disincentivise an "I'll write a proprietary markdown wiki in electron and sell that with a subscription" startup.

The free alternatives are not able to appear also because of the copyright law, Nintendo bullies anyone that tries to make things with their IPs with copyright, perhaps having no copyright protection would mean getting more free software?
What I'm feeling is that we agree on having more free software is good 🤝

also i think the incentives for foss wouldnt change because most people dont actually care about source code availability
