You should watch this from the “don’t be evil days” days of google.: https://youtu.be/mhBpI13dxkI

Copyright isn’t, and never has been, about “protecting the artist”.

It was, and is, and has always been, about controlling the means of distribution.

Interestingly, if you look into the lecturerer of that video, they are very active on mastadon.

yeah. it’s mind blowing to me how the Internet was convinced to give up its a culture of piracy and privateering and become sycophants for corporate protection of IP under they imaginary impression that they are “protecting artists”.

There were industry executives and think tanks litterally quoted (in the 2000s) for saying that their job was to effectively convince people that piracy “hurt the artist”, that this was the way to stop piracy: convince people they were hurting artists by piracy.

Turns out, almost no artists except the most extraordinarily successful make any money off copyright or IP. They mostly make their money the way they’ve always made their money: ticket sales, merch sales, performances, etc.

science is principled on the concept of reproducibility.

If the information is behind a paywall, it’s inaccessible and therefore beyond critique, making it unscientific.

The second best time to start is now.

That’s a really interesting question, and questions like this were areas of active research in the earliest days of tissue culture; or specifically how to do the opposite, some times: how to effectively get the properties of soap without the bubbles.

Google tween 20, which is a product made for this specific purpose. However, I do know that in a lab setting, it maintain its properties a deal longer that 24 hrs.

I think your answer would depend on the nature of the soap solution used to create the bubbles. My guess would be that something is being oxydized, and with exposure to oxygen, the molecule responsible for the bubbles is reduced and not as effective.
