Copyright was de facto enforced by the difficulty of copying books before this, but creations were thought to be part of the Common Good in most realms.
..the next time the press needs to get answers from Verizon and, say, Kathleen Grillo replies, they'll say: "Can we talk to someone else, please? Someone who won't lie to us."
Maybe, as is the case in social sciences' wars, the reason the Original Brooklyn Water Bagel Co. is going to such extremes, is because the stakes are so low...

You should encourage your non-BoA bank, by specifically asking your bank manager about this. Then tell them that if they ever license the patent from BoA, you'll switch banks.

Godard doesn't think there is such a thing as IP. Do I need to repeat it?
Maybe: Godard doesn't think there is such a thing as IP. He believes you can't treat copyright in the same way you treat property.
The key to understanding the nuance is in the French text: "par exemple" (for example) in "Je suis contre l'héritage, par exemple.".
He's talking about copyright, not IP. Again, Godard doesn't believe that there is such a thing as IP
He doesn't have a problem with copyright for the creator's lifetime. Nor for extending the copyright to cover the creator's children until they reach the age of majority.
Say basically here's what he's saying:
(1) There is no such thing as IP;
(2) Copyright should end when the creator dies, plus maybe a maximum of 18 years, for the children;
(3) A creator's work(s) should not thought of as property, since there's no such thing as IP;
(4) HADOPI is a bad idea/institution;
(5) There is no such thing as IP;
(6) He thinks filesharing is OK; and he's put his money where his mouth is by donating 1,000 eurosn to James Climent to help pay his fine;
Re: Re: Lemme emphasize that to help you out there....
I'm PaulR, who translated the text on BoingBoing..:
"Il n'y a pas de propriété intellectuelle. Je suis contre l'héritage, par exemple."
In the first sentence, Godard says that intellectual creations aren't property in the usual sense of the word: houses, pocketknives, bags of carrots. Thus, in the second sentence, to illustrate this point he says he doesn't believe that copyright should be inheritable.
He does add" "Que les enfants d'un artiste puissent bénéficier des droits de l'oeuvre de leurs parents, pourquoi pas jusqu'â leur majorité...)
He is willing to concede that the creators' children could/should [I don't have the text that the ellipsis replaces] continue to receive copyright payments until they reach the age of majority. But afterwards? No.
He does NOT say, or even imply that the creator should not benefit for his/her works - to those of y'all who insist on repeating this straw man, the original text is quite clear.
But he doesn't believe that copyright should be treated as property.
FedEx was 'front and center' throughout the whole film, yet, as far as I know, they simply told FedEx that they wanted to use the name of the company to give a sense of realism.
The clothing is/was destroyed because the idiots, whose only sense of self-worth is that defined by name brands, don't want to see poor people wearing 'their' clothes, even if they're fakes.
But isn't the need to "hire someone who does" a lot of the reason such legislation gets created by (lawyer) legislators and reinforced by (lawyer) judges? Make work projects?
Governments, as the financial crisis has made plain, are just supposed to be mechanism to transport money from the masses to the ruling classes. So, IP laws are just another sub-assembly in the whole mechanism...
