No One Is in Charge at the US Copyright Office

Don't need it anymore. President decides who owns what now, supreme court will confirm it sometime next week.

Exactly, what happened to the libertarian spirit of HN?

You're going to have to expand on that because I'm out of the loop.

Start by reading up on who won the November 2024 US presidential election and then read https://bsky.app/profile/stevevladeck.bsky.social.

I see so nothing concrete happened and this is just speculation.

I’m not sure if the comment below is alluding to this, but search for Project 2025. Robert Reich has published some informative articles in the Guardian newspaper, but plenty of other sources.

The fact you expect it to have some sort of backing evidence, and didn't take it as a completely absurd joke, makes my point perfectly. That is not YET the case, but given how things are headed, no one would be surprised if it did actually happen next week.

Linking BlueSky posts does the opposite of supporting whatever claims you're making.

I think writing off everything and everyone on bluesky is intellectually lazy.
