Image from a quicklink (Image by Unknown Owner) Details DMCA | Boycott corporations monopolizing, misguiding, and destroying human civilization. Image: The "Intellectual Property" racket. You do not own "ideas" or "information," only the tangible assets used to either record, view, or transmit them. The paradigm these corporate-financier interests are attempting to create and perpetuate is one that inevitably places all under their contrived "intellectual domain" because it is they alone who have the money and power to register and defend them. In the process, they are hindering technological as well as social progress in the defense of their antiquated business models.
For every movie, song, or piece of software produced by this collection of monopolistic, corporate parasites, there are equivalent or superior open source, creative commons, public domain alternatives. |
