I know you are trying to kill this endless thread but the
analogy I have always made about Intellectual Property
in general is that of Indans and White man. Some of us
used to roam around in perfect freedom then the White man
came with his laws, lawyers and barbed wire and now he
has cut up intellectual space into nice tidy little farms ...
I suppose it is more productive but it is not nearly as much
fun as freedom.
Sad really, but inevitable I suppose.

Which is why I think one of the only hopes for Mankind is in the stars.
When all property is owned, and the only way to get yours is when
somebody dies, it's time to find more unclaimed property[1].
It's possible that we'll be out of unclaimed property in my lifetime, if
we aren't already. After that, it gets ugly.
If we don't get into space soon, the plan of recent U.S. administrations
will have to be escalated: Kill More Bad People.

Just curious, how many here beside me have found their names appearing
on The List used by U.S. air carriers and had to be screened further for
undisclosable "security reasons"? Apparently, I'm now a Person of
Interest(tm). But then, unless you've been stopped on the street (in
front of your own house) by the police because "you fit a description",
then you really haven't lived. ;-)
