Or, if I were skilled enough, could physically replicate the idea. So nobody can physically own the idea. Your example shows that the artist can make similar works with the same idea. So can I, being inspired by the original artist...using his idea. He can't stop me from using that idea.

What!? If you perform your song of course you still have it in your mind...now everyone who has heard that song can replicate it if they have the skill to do so. You can share your land with people but you can control how it is shared. If you give your land to somebody then you lose possession of that land. And how is a song tangible?

Re: Re: Re:
There are probably multiple documents that show where property lines are...it would take quite a bit to forge, the property owner's deed, the neighbor's deed, the city/county property record of the owner and neighbors, any planning documents, ie. subdivision plats or site plans.
But, of course, I don't think that is the point of Mike's comment. Property documents show ownership of tangible/physical goods or property. A song/idea/thought can not be possessed or contained while being simultaneously shared.

Memory
Having a discussion with some others about this a couple weeks ago, we all had an instance where our cell phone battery died and were without charger/adapter and we couldn't access any of our contacts when needed. Usually happened when driving some lonely stretch of road.

Because the prosecutors never charge anyone using a law that was not intended for that purpose. They are always looking to charge with as many crimes as possible...especially when they can't come up with any real crimes. As some AC's have stated...it is the law and we must enforce the law.

Re: Re: Update to the story
Sorry to get you in the tangle, Mike. Regardless, you can replace SWAT with Department of Education and still be shocked. Second, not paying student loans or getting financial aid under false pretenses could constitute the "criminal" fraud charge they trumped out. She probably put her old address on the forms.
Side note: the beauty of the internet is that you can make updates to stories with changing information. The local news station had to shut down the original story. This flexibility is why the old forms of news media are ill adept at bringing accurate and complete stories in a timely manner.

Again, even if this was a criminal investigation, wouldn't a little surveillance be prudent to determine whether or not the woman lived there before destroying property and terrorizing innocents. It looks like they skipped the investigation part here.

Re: Re: Re: What is wrong with you?
Palanistas...whatever...just questioning. Plus lots of people get sick permanantly where there is no fracking. Unless it is tracable to the "exposure" to the gases, which I am sure they found a bunch of doctors to agree with...even released a published study in a reputable journal.

Re: What is wrong with you?
those people were not able to light their water on fire before the fracking started, and now they can.
Sorry, but I have to bite...why were people trying to light their drinking water on fire before they knew that fracking was starting? Because this statement implies a comparison.

Re: Re: Re: Yes but
It is akin to a city creating a carpool or bus only lane from an existing road. The average solo motorist might find themselves with less road to drive on legally, but their rights to operate a motor vehicle are not diminished. They just have a little less road to work with in one area.
Of course, in this analogy, there is some some supposed public benefit. What public benefit is there to removing a work out of the cheaper, free-er public domain? Now we have to pay four times the cost because the government granted a monopoly to a small number of people (I guess that shouldn't matter: see other comment) who didn't create a damn thing.

Does that even matter? Logic check: We should shoot all Native Americans because it will only effect a small number of people. Idiot!
