What you're describing as liberalism, isn't. It's progressivism.
Liberalism is entirely not related to both of them.
Actually, I can hold liberal views that are extremely conservative like "homosexuality is ok" -- because, actually, it's the position of the Greeks in 500 B.C., and thus even more conservative than any of the homophobic positions in the last 2000 years. Same goes for abortion.
The opposite of Liberalism (and actually, Libertarianism) is Authoritarianism. Authoritarianism is telling other people what they can do or not, like who they can fuck, which drugs they may take or what they can do to their own bodies.
Need I also to explain that left and right ALSO have nothing to do with either of the four words above? In a nutshell: Left is towards socialism, right is towards capitalism.
And no, it's not about linking in the first place, but about "publishers of press publications" having the right to demand you don't "quote" them (unless you pay), where "quote" might include the actual text of the URL itself.
Just because everybody else since 1790 thought it was obvious, and so the patent office couldn't find any prior patent.
[1]: Actually, in the copper age, and the prior art from 1200 B.C. I managed to dig up is probably not the oldest one, so this might even date back to the stone age.
Something like AcoustID from https://musicbrainz.org/ probably in higher resolution (i.e. datapoints) in order to catch short samples.
And of course AcoustID (and ContentID) will screw up when it comes to multiple recordings with different orchestras that all play the same composition. Only, in the case of ContentID you'll disenfranchise the public.
No idea. But there were people even in 1841 who realized what an extension beyond life duration would mean: An inheritance hell, where every heir can veto publication, and only all heirs together can publish or sell licenses. In other words: destruction of culture.
The fact that you think you should be carrying around guns while not going hunting or shooting tells me you're exactly the kind of people who shouldn't have them.
...against stupid password policies, and only recently NIST finally took over the view of us security professionals.
Of course, some jerks didn't get the memo, didn't read contemporary publications from NIST and still think the old security theater is still sanctioned.
In "Permanence" by Kurt Schroeder, on of the societies involved is the "Rights Economy". It's, in a remote sense, about this. Please read, you'll love it.
Here in Switzerland, when you're a citizen above the age of 18, you're a voter. Always. You don't have to "register" or whatever nonsense. You're already registered as citizen, why would you need to re-register to partake in your rights as citizen?
"The DOJ has vigorously prosecuted this case for 6 years straight"
Which is the root of the problem in the first place. It never should have started this crusade on the behest of media companies, and then, it has had 6 years to realize what an ass it has been made by them, but it hasn't backed down yet.

Karl Schroeder depicts in this novel a very special kind of society:
"In the "rights economy", all physical objects are nano-tagged so that payment may be enforced for all uses of proprietary information."
