Hi everybody
Recently here on the list Ant Phillips offered to provide LRH material in
"parcels". In my opinion a great idea and seemingly well received so far.
I was sometimes tempted to put in large chunks of text of LRH references
by copy & paste into some of my write-ups as well.
As far as I know, one is allowed by law to cite from works of others as
long as the cite is limited (I do not know which amount is tolerable here)
and you mention the source or copyright owner.
Often we find a remark in (c)-righted works like this:
"Reproduction in whole or parts of this work is only allowed with the
written consent of the (c)-owner." - something like that.
I would appreciate if anyone who is competent with that legal regulations
could comment. Perhaps the owner or moderator of this list or the server,
because often the people who post anything which violate the laws are not
the
one who get in trouble. In many cases the poster can not even traced back.
The attorneys do not really care from where they get the money. So, from
the
point of view of the responsible entities:
- What is needed and wanted here?
- Where are the limits of what is tolerable?
- Do you follow a certain policy by which you would like that list members
behave?
(in general, not only in regard of (c)).
I have tremendous amount of material available, but be by no means
interested
to bring anyone - including myself - in trouble.
From my point of view there is really very much to say about patent and
(c).
In my former career I've been concerned in inventions and patents to a
certain
degree. (I've made about half a dozen minor inventions which are owned by
the company I had worked for. I got a fair financial compensation for
them.)
Never the less I always had the feeling that there is something terribly
wrong
with patents, and (c) as well.
Originally all those laws concerned with that subject may have been meant
for
a good purpose. I'm not even sure about that, but I'm 100% convinced that
those
issues had been, and still are, heavily misused for suppressive purposes.
I strongly believe that any idea, thought or creation (that includes tech
too!) can not be protected by laws. I think in case anyone who is on "do
not
want it to be known"; well then please keep it secret and do not bother us
with it; use it on yourself and louse yourself up with it to your heart's
content!)
My reasoning is as follows (list may be incomplete):
- It contradicts the rules of "freedom of thought".
- If someone invents something that had been invented prior by another one,
and the second inventor did not know about it, then the intellectual
value of the second inventor's creative act is equal to the first one.
So why privilege the first one and thus punish the second one?
- (Almost) any invention or creative work ever made is to some extent
inspired
or sparked by the surrounding of the creator. So, to a very high degree
the
creation is the property of at least the whole fourth dynamic of the
entity.
- The assumption that patent- and (c)- laws further progress is an
outright lie
of the first magnitude! Actually it is exactly to the contrary!
- Last but not least the law-making completely neglects the ideas of
"one-ness",
"first source", collective consciousness, ....
In that respect the actual laws is completely out of any fundamental
reasoning.
It's all solely based on the opinion of some people and certainly not on
factual
reality. Even conventional science in the meantime can prove and thus
accepts the
existence of "morphogenetic fields", a group mind, ... In that respect
those
laws are outdated; no more than a relic of a barbaric past we all hoped
to be
long gone.
Sorry for sounding somehow polemic here and not directly related to TROM.
But the grounds seem to be just right to me.
Robin
