"A new memo from Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth is calling on defense contractors to grant the Army the right-to-repair. The Wednesday memo is a document about “Army Transformation and Acquisition Reform” that is largely vague but highlights the very real problems with IP constraints that have made it harder for the military to repair damaged equipment.
Hegseth made this clear at the bottom of the memo in a subsection about reform and budget optimization. “The Secretary of the Army shall…identify and propose contract modifications for right to repair provisions where intellectual property constraints limit the Army's ability to conduct maintenance and access the appropriate maintenance tools, software, and technical data—while preserving the intellectual capital of American industry,” it says. “Seek to include right to repair provisions in all existing contracts and also ensure these provisions are included in all new contracts.”
Over the past decade, corporations have made it difficult for people to repair their own stuff and, somehow, the military is no exception. Things are often worse for the Pentagon. Many of the contracts it signs for weapons systems come with decades long support and maintenance clauses. When officials dig into the contracts they’ve often found that contractors are overcharging for basic goods or intentionally building weapons with proprietary parts and then charging the Pentagon exorbitant fees for access to replacements."

OIN Marks 20 Years of Defending Linux and Open Source From Patent Trolls - An anonymous reader quotes a report from ZDNet: Today, open-source software powers... - https://yro.slashdot.org/story/25/04/29/1952237/oin-marks-20-years-of-defending-linux-and-open-source-from-patent-trolls?utm_source=rss1.0mainlinkanon&utm_medium=feed #patents
"Chief Executives don’t usually brag about paying high tax rates.
But with pharma tariffs looming, being a tax sucker is suddenly a badge of safety in the industry. That isn’t because Wall Street is suddenly in love with taxes. Rather, with so much uncertainty, investors are prizing biotech companies that base their intellectual property and manufacturing in the U.S., which up until now often meant higher taxes.
On a Thursday earnings call, Gilead Sciences Chief Executive Daniel O’Day proudly pointed out that the biotech’s corporate tax rate of approximately 20% “reflects the fact that the substantial majority of our intellectual property is already registered in the United States.”
Before the Trump era, many pharma and biotech firms established intellectual property and manufacturing operations in low-tax hubs such as Ireland. This allowed them to reduce their tax bills through transfer pricing. Essentially, the Irish unit of the company sells the drug to a U.S. unit at a high internal “transfer price,” enabling the parent company to book most of the profit in the lower-tax jurisdiction. (Ireland currently offers a headline 15% corporate tax rate to big companies, compared with 21% in the U.S.) On paper, the U.S. unit appears to earn little—even though the end-sales are largely happening in America.
While the 2017 tax overhaul under Trump was meant to curb offshore profit shifting, in practice it left key loopholes intact.
Now the second Trump administration appears to be preparing to use tariffs to target the practice, with the goal of inducing companies to increase manufacturing in the U.S. Earlier this month, the Trump administration—which has repeatedly lambasted Ireland for luring American pharma companies—announced probes into pharmaceutical imports, citing national-security concerns."
Donald #Trump proclaimed yesterday World Intellectual Property Day.

* Note that it's World Intellectual Property Day, not US Intellectual Property Day.
* He proudly compares his #IP strategy to his "strategic use of #tariffs."
* He's convening "the best and brightest" to serve on a new Council of Advisors on Science and Technology. No names yet.
@ezra personally I think #Apple should be forced.to implement #AV1 & #WebM and that @EUCommission could mandate #OpenStandards.
Also if #H265 wasn't #patented and facing #PatentTrolls and #rentseekers we'd see way better quality there as well.
And yes, Apple (#MPEGLA-Member) is at the root of the problem!
Leaders in the generative AI world are daring to say the unsayable: that copyright is not sacrosanct
For the last hundred years or so, the prevailing dogma has been that copyright is an unalloyed good, and that more of it is better. Whether that was ever true is one question, but it is certainly not the case since we entered the digital era, for reasons explained at length in Walled Culture the book (free digital versions available). Despite that fact, recent attempts to halt the constant […]

"Donald Trump’s tariffs demand a response. Around the world, that response has defaulted to retaliatory tariffs — a strategy with severe and obvious drawbacks. After years of pandemic shocks and greedflation, people around the globe have severe inflation fatigue, and few governments are eager to risk further price hikes. And while the world is rightly furious at Trump’s talk of annexation and other belligerent acts, that anger is unlikely to translate into popular support for higher prices on everyday goods. If there’s one lesson that politicians everywhere have metabolized over the past twenty-four months, it’s that any government that presides over inflationary price rises is likely to be out of a job come the next election.
Luckily there is another policy response to tariffs — one that will substantially lower prices for America’s tariff-clobbered trading partners while incubating profitable, export-oriented domestic tech firms. These firms could sell tools and services to local businesses, to the benefit of the world’s news and culture industries, software firms, and consumers alike.
That response? Repealing “anticircumvention laws” that prohibits domestic firms from reverse-engineering “digital locks.” These anticircumvention laws stop the world’s farmers from fixing their John Deere tractors; they stop mechanics from diagnosing your car; they stop technologists from creating their own app stores for phones and games consoles."

China did not make good on their threat, concerning not honoring US copyrights, patents, and trademarks.
Instead, they decided to hit America with both tariffs (84%) and sanctions on select American companies.

The only reason copyright works, is because the world's governments all agreed to respect intellectual property.
Without that, it will be a free for all.

China, economically, is about to metaphorically speaking, drop a nuclear bomb, on the United States.
China has suggested they will, null and void, all American copyrights, patents, and trademarks.
Imagine everything ever created or currently being created in the United States in China's eyes, will be public domain. That is a bell, once rung, cannot be unrung.
