Or how bout Dr. Woods? that's appropriate too.

Private property that fully relies on the contribution of us "normal" users. People get offended when they see there contribution get messed with, especially when it seem to disappear!

wonderfull idea comrade.

I got my information from articles like this (this is not the specific article that clued me in) http://lawontherow.com/2011/02/14/congress-proposes-copyright-protection-for-fashion-design/ Its about writing new legislation to protect fashion design via copyright. Maybe I'm wrong. It does seem...

I like Ron Paul Republicans, its got a nice alliteration going on.

How about this analogy. You you produce a board, and sell me that board, and then a go on and use it to build a house. Is that a derivative work? should you be able to prevent me from using the board in that way if your the first to invent the board?

What do you mean by piracy? do you mean everyday joe making a copy for his friend for free? then no they don't, but if you mean "how other people can take your work (rebrand it, tweak it, etc) and make money without your permission" (your words) then yes they do. Might want to take a look a...

Closed Minded much? Don't give up on being convinced so easily. Your argument is with out patents and copyrights people would not produce creating outputs because they would not be able to make a living. You did admit to not reading the whole thread, but it seems you don't internalize the posts...

Also, how do you steal an idea? If i steal your money, you no longer have it. If i steal your idea, do i rip it out of your brain? Are you deprived of using it further? Also, no one is ever entitled to money for anything ever! The idea that you put work into something and now you deserve money...

You have not addressed the argument of no IP equates to no compensation for creative work. You just said "knock offs are not fair" You just pointed out the good intended goal of IP law, but unfortunately just like most laws, it does not meat its goal and has bad unintended consequences. Many...

For what its worth, copyright and patent protection do not cover the fashion industry. There are plenty of creative people working hard and getting payed in that field. You didn't say it, but you strongly implied that no one would pay you (or anyone else) to do what you do if not for IP laws...

I think most people are missing the point that the government agencies that Dr. Paul wants to eliminate fall into two categories. Agencies that hand out money, or make up regulations (and then shutdown companies not in compliance). Dr. Paul has stated that he will not just fire every worker in...

They really have to open there mouths sooner eh?
