[04:22] <grogbot> [discord] <startropic1> This law does exist
[04:23] <grogbot> [discord] <startropic1> Life of creator plus 75 years

[04:25] <grogbot> [discord] <startropic1> However, in the old Atari days, no one really copyrighted anything LOL
[04:25] <grogbot> [discord] <startropic1> that's why there were a billion versions of Pong and there was literally a Colecovision expansion module that played Atari cartridges. 🤣
[04:26] <grogbot> [discord] <startropic1> It took some years for copyright law to catch up, then some companies did retroactively copyright their IPs.

[06:01] <grogbot> [discord] <.eriktorbjorn> I'd like to see some sort of "copy obligation" to go with that copyright, where the rights would either expire or revert to the original owner quicker if they're not being used. But I don't know exactly how that would work.

[17:20] <grogbot> [discord] <lephilousophe> why should we change this? it's been like that since the introduction of the warning (https://github.com/scummvm/scummvm/commit/4d0bba3).
[17:20] <grogbot> [discord] <lephilousophe> IMO, daily builds are builds for experienced users and don't need such warning.
[18:32] <grogbot> [discord] <sev____> I'll reply separately
