not falling in line and blindly worshiping their rules/agenda?
say hello to censorship, where anyone who dares speak out against the god of IP is immediately silenced or prevented from speaking out in the first place
IP is, in fact, property (legally), there's not much difference that I can see.
... you can't see the difference between infinitely copyable goods (such as songs or any other kind of art) & finite physical goods?
the law can say whatever it wants it cannot change the base fact that the two are vastly different from eachother & cannot be compared let alone treated the same way
kind of the big fundamental problem with the whole system, it is trying to apply rules to something where those rules don't apply
it's like trying to play chess with the rules of the 3-dimensional chess from Star Trek it just doesn't work
so, for you to have these "protections" (which aren't protecting you from anything cause there isn't anything to be protected from) i must be restricted
where is my "protections" against being restricted in what parts of my culture i can use & modify?
where is my backup chorus of "but.. but.. but.. free culture! won't someone please think of the culture?!"
if you gotta have an artificial prop to make a source of income viable there's a problem and that's that it wasn't a viable source to begin with
Money aside, I personally am glad of some of the protections I get under copyright laws. I'm glad that I don't run the risk of spending months crafting a song only to turn on the tv one day and hear it as the theme song for the new season of Jersey Shore. I'm glad that Nickelback can't steal my melodies, write some new lyrics and turn them into a cawk-rawk anthem.
ah, so you want power/control
the root of copyright along with money
grants too much power/control for anyone person to have, it's completely in favor of one party ignoring the other as in a king over a serf, there is no balance

it's not the best explanation ever but pretty much says the same crap as what the bills themselves says, except without all of the long drawn out bullcrap & subtle wording

i heard if you believe something hard enough it comes true, seems to have worked for a lot of people, not so much for those who don't
...copyright & IP are kind of starting to sound like religion...
well, at least most religions have the benefit of the doubt in that one cannot disprove (or prove) most of their beliefs, copyright/IP worshipers don't have this luxury
come to think of the whole thing is built on lies like a big ol' rug that must be where they plan sweeping the internets under someone needs to pull it out from under them but i'm a poor liar and an even poorer shill
WTF was that i tried to follow and got horribly lost
whoever came up with that system needs to be shot, for causing unnecessary difficulty to things which should be simple & hurt my brain/eyes simultaneously
**or THINK they can get away with it, apparently Righthaven thought so, still, i consider them more of an exception than anything else, for every 1 that gets beat down 10 more get away clean
I know some people have difficulty in distinguishing between what is legal and what is right or just, but it really isn't all that difficult.
about the only ones who have difficulty are those who know they can get away with abusing it, unfortunately
Live by misuse of the law and you will suffer and even face utter destruction at the hands of the law, a lesson sure to be overlooked by the **AA's and all their kind.
i've seen/heard of/read about too many who have lived, and died, by misuse of the law without ever facing a single repercussion for it to have hope in that anymore
just too few in power who care to stop it and too few who would do so who are (and ever will be) in power
