      Intellectual Property - Real or Imaginary?

      'Intellectual Property' Do you believe that a person can own a thought? An idea? A collection of words? What about words themselves? Is this 'property'? Please note that I am asking this as a question of ethics, not as a question of legality. I am aware of the legislation and the case law...

      Appeals Court Rules Computer Code Is Not "Property" and Can’t Be Stolen

      Look for this ruling to applied against the RIAA/MPAA cabal in the very near future. MP3's and digitised movies are just code and can't be "stolen" by pirates. Just copied. I can't help but wonder what the response of the RIAA and MPAA will be. I'm betting Micro$oft is pissed, right now. This...

      RightHaven Gets Served

      Well known copyright troll law firm RightHaven is getting the same treatment they wanted for their victims. US Marshals will be going to their offices to seize bank accounts and/or property in order to pay off a judgment that was rendered against them by the courts. Maybe now they'll pack up and...

      Have at it people... in THIS thread. Thanks for not hijacking the other one. Just some ideas to get you started: RIAA didn't want you to put a copy of a song of of your cd that you bought. They wanted you to buy a digital only copy. Then RIAA wanted you to buy a new license for every...

      RIAA Lawyers: "Give Us $75 Trillion" Judge: "Absurd"

      Discussion of the legitimacy of Intellectual Property

      I have never really heard both sides of this debate. What reasons, if any, should Intellectual Property rights be considered Government Interventionism? Why should it not be included as a necessary part of Capitalism?
