    NDAs are an affront to human creativity - and the polar fucking opposite of what copyright is for.

    Copyright explicitly exists to incentivize new works, for us. It’s an opportunity to make money. The modern concept of owning an idea is a perversion and a failure of that intent. Especially when it’s not the actual fucking artists in control!

    Kiana Mai recently remarked “the thing I’m most proud of is NDA and will likely never see the light of day, ha ha.” I want to tell her: no, not haha. That’s horrible. It is a crime and you are a victim. Not “the victim,” because there must be a whole goddamn team of you, and you’ve been robbed even if you were paid. Sadly relevant word: if.
