@alcinnz but it's all speculation, not worth pursuing.
@alcinnz see, I suspect that without arpanet, we would have never had public addresses at all.
@aka_quant_noir A lot of the utopian thinking of the 60s and 70s was wildly individualistic.
@ajroach42 As I just said, I suspect capitalization would've led to the same end no matter were the internet originates from.
@alcinnz I guess what I'm really wondering is what the internet would look like if it had evolved more from compuserve than from arpanet.
@alcinnz The internet specifically is the thing I keep coming back to.
Usenet existed without ARPANET. BBSs were born without the military's intervention.
@Kye that's the one.

@TechConnectify I really love the way Becky Chambers addresses this in the wayfarers series.

Do we need copyright? No! Five arguments against.
@shapr Thank you for sharing this. It's very good.
@shapr If this was a one off thing, I might risk it.
I'm trying to build something that will live for a long time, so I have to play things a little safer.
@shapr That is so often the way.
@teajaygrey Shout! Factory has physical media rights.
From what I'm gathering ITV and the BBC own the thing, but have licensed it a few different ways, and NBC gets it for free.
I'm still digging.
