There was a great (reoccurring) thread on licensing on another list the other day... good stuff.
Anyway, the Law is a lot like the dictionary (here we go ;)... See, if a word gets used enough, it gets in, basically. Same goes for laws. What I'd like to reflect on, is the fact that we can help steer the direction these laws go, and in fact, probably should. I think it's pretty shameful how much power "corporations" have, I mean, it's pretty blatant that big $$ is doing what it can to protect it's interests, in general. And it's doing pretty well so far, judging by the state of some things. I just want to be sure everyone knows that just because something is established, doesn't make it right, and we are in a whole new age here, some types of thinking are going to have to get different. Or it's gonna slow us down. I like speed, and prefer the "yay, this is fun, and I most likely won't get hurt" to the "Yay, this is fun, but I think at any moment this will end badly, I hope they can get an ambulance or a chopper here fast" variety. Not that it matters, but anyway. I'd love to see an age of enlightenment, maybe even a Golden Age, 'roundabout now, and something tells me that knowledge, and ideas, and ideas about ideas and ownership/dissemination, play a key role in the picture. If we let big business set the precedents, the outlook isn't as good for Everyone as it truly could be. I don't have the answer. It's a balancing act, always, and people gotta eat, ya know. Mmmm... Food... Yeah, TGIF! Sorry for the random post folks. I reckon it's preaching to the chior about this stuff, neh? This, totally off topic, stuff?
