@veroxii @neo2478 right, and in terms of PDO there's not much Europe could retaliate with. What is there? Bourbon and Tennessee Whiskey? I think those are the only geographical indicators they have. But Cory Doctorow came up with some good ideas. The EU has already brought in alternative app stores but I'm sure there are some other tech & IP considerations https://www.pluralistic.net/2025/01/15/beauty-eh/

Yup. A lot of US income comes from predatory IP laws.

@person1 imagine if we applied normal copyright to Disney

yeah. it is called disney law in usa for a reason

...or was it mickey mouse law

@person1 I work in publishing for schools and it is *so* difficult/expensive to publish support for literature or media. Fair use & fair dealing laws can only get you so far. Great Gatsby finally coming out of copyright was a big moment. But the reason it's come out is of course because it's not actually recent literature any more.

what do you mean by "publish support"?

Coca Cola?

That's made globally.

@HenriVolney well yeah, there are *brands* but I don't think there are any geographical designations to compete with eg champagne, other than bourbon.
