My TV is called a computer :P
wrong thread *L*

hang on witring out a post for here...

Data is something that should be easily traded for the betterment of all, strictly for profit mentalities stagnate and corrupt empires.

We need to protect both sharing and profits.

A-Men on that Zippy

As soon as you walk in the conference they push you up against the wall. Its a Sting! Then the members from the MPAA will lock you in a room and make you watch crappy hollywood movies (gigli) over and over again with your eyelids propped open, clockwork orange style.

what is need is a separation of fees and fines

Infringement
So you download a couple MP3s big honking deal if they catch you they can fine you up to 5 a song,10 a dvd 20 a game thats younger than 2 years(otherwise its 10$) and then they give you the recite for them.
However they can not break the law or have others break the law for them to hack and spy on others.



Illicit profit
This is where they should take the gloves of and off and treat real pirates like drug dealers(as far as fines and property confiscation are concerned)

Corporate infringement
When a company is found to infringe they should be hit with fines double total lost court and lawyer fees and if they willfully do it for profit then tey should pay the government and the infringer the total worth of the CP/IP/patent they tried to steal this right here will moderate the patent system alone.


I really like the 2 year CP concept(more like a nuclear fair use clause) I been working on, after 2 years and its out of publication and old versions of media as well are free to share in strictly non profit situations, the CP owners offset this by keeping stuff in publication longer and try harder to repackage media as well as focus on new talents since anything older than 5 years is practically free to trade now.

But like with cooking(cookies,pizza,cakes) consumers are hellbent on convinuace at any price thus whatever damaged now to the retail industry will be heavily moderated by the fact sheeple are lazy.

Now because this makes it easy for the public to gain access to free information CP can last forever its just a contract of sale from owner to buyer they can limit the time of a CP being being CP'd and move it to creative commons after 20-50 years or what not or say its a permentate deal until its sold again, the business side of CP will be infanate however they must keep it i publication to gain full protection for it.
