  • Also, why is it that different things enter the public domain at different times? For example, I learned of a movie from like the 1970s called The Last Man on Earth that is public domain, or at least I’m guessing it’s public domain, and yet it’s from the 1970s, where this is talking about stuff from 1929. I obviously know some stuff is made and released immediately into the public domain, such as open source software, etc. But I wouldn’t figure a movie would be like that.





  • I used to live in the middle of bumfuck nowhere. And I believe we had dial up until 2010. I specifically remember our first Wi-Fi router being an 802.11G Belkin 54G router. And our first high-speed internet was 1.5mbps fiber. We upgraded from 1.5mbps to 3mbps and then to 7mbps by the time I moved out. Because that was my childhood home. I can also remember that at that time, I thought our school internet was super fast. And yet we were sharing a T1 line for the entire school. But it was still way faster than the dial up I had at home.
