- Holy shiitake! Trump fired Shira Perlmutter, the Director of the US Copyrights Office apparently because she refused to let Elon Musk raid the place to steal author’s intellectual property rights democrats-cha.house.gov/media/press-...
- Wow, that's super interesting, as last time I checked, they 𝙧𝙚𝙘𝙤𝙧𝙙𝙚𝙙 copyrights, rather than 𝙤𝙬𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜 them. Perhaps the 𝙢𝙪𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙡𝙞𝙙𝙖𝙚 needs a refresher in civics...

- Same page. ); Assume you mean she got canned because the 𝙢𝙪𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙡𝙖𝙙𝙞𝙚 was denied access (as he should've been; just doing her job, so no fireable offense). Per the statute, the office only holds the work; it does not own same, so cannot legally provide it to others without the author's approval.May 13, 2025 14:15
