Re: Pro-IP bill passed the house: User-created conte nt providers, beware!

Or, even simpler, just abolish copyright and patents.

It'll happen eventually.

It's just a question of when enough folk say 'enough is enough'.

Does published work belong to the publisher or the public?

Your answer defines which side you're on.

The laws of nature will determine which side wins.

If you know anything about computers you might have an inkling as to the
laws of nature when it comes to the diffusion of information across public
networks.

If you know anything about publishing corporations you might have an inkling
of the lengths they will go to to assert their laws of copyright and patent.

So sit back and enjoy the show, or pick a side and get stuck in.

Feel free to copy me - you don't need my permission.
