No prisons, no limits. It doesn't make sense to put a jpg or a blog post behind a paywall. If it's good, it will be available for free in no time. Someone will right-click save the thing, or take a screenshot, and send it around or republish it. Trying to fight that is stupid. Putting chunks of data behind prisons is stupid. All data can be reproduced at zero marginal cost, leading to infinite supply. That's why market prices are ridiculous for blog posts, and why it's equally ridiculous to try to sell a single blog post. What you CAN sell is access to an exclusive club or community, as well as access to the author. That's what all Twitch/YouTube/OnlyFans have figured out. But make no mistake: they're not selling JPGs. They might sell early-access (in the case of OnlyFans) which is fair, but it's not selling a JPG as you would sell an apple. Early access because if the stuff is any good, it will be available for free to anyone everywhere. Here's the thing: people love to support other people, so let them. No limits. The success of Patreon and Substack does not come from paywalls, but from the inherent willingness of people to support others. Lean into that. Let people give without limits. Social signaling is important. Community is incredibly important too. Do that right, and we can 100x the whole space just like a switch from $50 per game to free-to-play 100x'd the gaming industry, selling cosmetics and social status only. Computers are copying machines. Information yearns to be free. People want to support the stuff they love, and they're willing to pay for it. Not all people, but ~4% of them. And that is enough.

European Court of Justice: Police may search phone for minor crimes The European Court of Justice has ruled that police services may search the telephones of persons involved in minor crimes. EU member states must have a clear legislative framework for this and prior permission is required for non-urgent cases. "If access to data on mobile phones is restricted to serious crimes, this could seriously limit the investigative capabilities of the authorities," the Court wrote in a press release . According to the Court, the risk of impunity for criminal offences could also increase in that case. The Court stipulates that EU Member States must have a legislative framework in place that specifies with sufficient precision when and in which cases an interference with a person's private life is legally valid, and in which cases it is not. Law enforcement agencies that wish to access data on a data subject's mobile phone must, in non-urgent cases, obtain prior consent. Such consent may be granted by a judge or by an independent administrative authority. The data subject whose data is accessed must also be informed of the grounds on which such consent was given. The European Court of Justice is providing further clarification on a recent court case in Austria, in which a suspect's mobile phone was accessed by the police. The suspect, who was arrested after being caught with 85 grams of cannabis, had sued the police for taking his phone and attempting to search it. https://image.nostr.build/60c247ebf016e3d806fd10771207cf4f1c62405c0ee2658034fd7c789d09cb0f.jpg https://image.nostr.build/54aa0246c13da64fb2013897db3736dd41a91f556869ce344d2c24b2367df786.jpg Source: https://tweakers.net/nieuws/227336/europees-hof-van-justitie-politie-mag-telefoon-doorzoeken-bij-kleine-misdrijven.html

I won’t be there, unfortunately, and neither will my book. It should be available online in most locations, though
