TikTok Inches Closer to Global Attack on Spotify, Apple Music - Variety https://variety.com/vip/tiktok-inches-closer-to-global-attack-on-spotify-apple-music-streaming-1235710855/

I suspect #Apple's ongoing #trademark bullying is the product of some senior in-house #IP counsel engaging in borderline unethical nest-feathering with a fake problem whose solution not only harms the public but doesn't serve the company's legitimate branding interests in any real way.

So jazzed to get spam e-mails about setting up support for all my #IP needs—until I realize the IP is "immunoprecipitation." 😅

For #IP folks, you owe it to yourself to watch The Pez Outlaw (on Netflix). Incredible

WotC announces it will leave its OGL 1.0 license untouched _and_ publishes version 5.1 of the standard D&D reference document under a CC (@creativecommons) license.

@SundermannAJ you can probably even claim the hashtag #IP or #IPMastodon and not have it be about intellectual property!

@claasgefroi Ich habe somit kein Problem auf beiden #Plattformen zu Hause zu sein! Doch halte ich mir das Recht vor, auf der einen alles selbst zu kontrollieren! Das zeigt heute wieder @nancyfacer abspeichern von #IP-Adressen und das Abbauen einer #Demokratie um an Ihrer Ideologie festzuhalten.

Dass auch nicht mehr meine Gesellschaft ist, die ich so unterstützen werde.🤫
