THE INVENTION OF AIR
- drgss0
Copyrights is like selling air.When people have already what they need, and the free-enterprise assholes have no more ideas what to sell, they find a way to limit you somehow, to obtain excess profits.
If we do not beat every supporter of copyrights in the face regularly, sooner or later they will privatize air and water, sell it to tripled prices and cry about lack of ethics of those who refuse to pay for every sip. You think thats a fantasy? 200 years
ago no writer could even dream about collecting money for every copy of his talentless book whenever some moron wished to rewrite it. And see what happens today

...Over Stamp With Photo Of His Sculpture
Welcome to the "ownership" and "entitlement" society, where people feel that you can't do anything without paying everyone. The latest such example is a lawsuit against the US Postal Service over a recent stamp that is a photo of part of the Korean War Memorial in Washington DC. The Postal Service licensed the actual photo, but the sculptor who made the memorial itself claims that his copyrights were violated. Yes. Copyrights. On his sculpture. On a public memorial.
