Anyone have any follow up reading? I would love to read more comprehensively about how many of the mentioned ideas would actually be implemented in a cohesive system.
Great article. Intellectual property perfectly demonstrates the absurdity of capitalism. That kindergarten that got sued for painting Disney characters on their walls should be enough to turn anyone against copyright/IP.
The author argues copyright is always bad. He makes parallels between art and food. i say natural forces are at play on the following axis :
1_ “thou shall not kill” (100%, Yes)
2_ give food to the starving (Oversea?)
3_ create sustainable communism (Hard!)
4_ tolerate until extinction (No way!)
PS : i did give to charities against oversea’s misery, yet if I give everything, i will be in misery myself. There is a scale in virtue, copyright questions are entangled into that.
i am lucky to know an honest and hard-working guy from an African country since many years. He maintains contact with his home place back there and exactly know the needs & how the money is//was spent ; to build a grain reserve “grenier”.
Creativity has been sustainable for thousands of years before copyright.
The whole notion stems from capitalist dogma that people only do things when there’s a profit motive at play.

this is a pretty good dive into the subject http://www.dklevine.com/general/intellectual/against.htm

I am very skeptical it would work because humans like owning things.
But what do I know, this kind of stuff is way above me anyway.
Just give me food and I’ll turn it into code and crappy games.
