Re: Green Party of Sweeden - another name for communists

Intellectual property is not a form of private property, it's an idiotic idea that was devised by authoritarian morons. The founding fathers originally put IP in because they were trying to protect books and the references were mostly to patents. Patents are a good idea because they are actually enforceable. Notice who actually make money off of IP, the intermediaries. In other words the people who have no value to society other than the ability to open their mouths and yap idiocy.

The concept of copyright was a social contract to gain the most for the public, which is if anything the most communist logic in your terms.

Wasn't Cary Sherman pissed off a few months ago over some DRM thing that affected him?

Books and patents ... as opposed to all the other creations that required IP protection at the time?

Do you think they sat around and deliberated protection of recorded music and video performances and left them out on purpose for some reason?
