So this is the strangest of reads.
It's about the guy who wrote the famous end poem in #Minecraft, and how avoidance, hurt feelings, corporate greed, and a few other factors kept him from signing over the #copyright (first to #MojangStudios, and later to #Microsoft).
Recently, the author (Julian Gough) put the End Poem in the public domain, but the media will not publish details on the saga because ... Microsoft's Lawyers won't comment.
Truly wild stuff. Sometimes the law (copyright, threatened litigation, contracts) is truly crazy!
Here's the author's (@juliangough on the Birdsite) original 10k word substack piece on the debacle.

And here's his Twitter thread summarizing why a major media outlet is sitting on its hands and not publishing the story because they don't know what Microsoft and its army of 1700 lawyers will do!
