O'Donnell
So Tea Party candidate Christine O' Donnell has dabbled in witchcraft. First of all...freedom of religion. White witches don't do anything to harm anyone...they basically worship the earth. I could give two shits what she worships...I'm more concerned with her other stances...like that masterbation is WRONG! Can you just see it...."The Moral Police" pulling up into neighborhoods...looking in windows. Taking folks in for what they do in their own homes and on their own time! LOL!! Stop in the name of morality!! This is someone that lobbies on moral issues...issues I think (and most everyone I know) should be kept OUT of politics. I'd like to thank Bill Maher for releasing the clip in which she mentions witchcraft. Most of Americans will be scared by this...and she WON'T get in!!! IBF!
- why not? as someone once rigthly remarked: our greatest poverty is the poverty of imagination. Why cant we subject audio-visual content to collective licensing? what is so inherently intractable about this content that makes it difficult to peg it within a collective licensing hole? just because other countries have not done it earlier, why can't we do it? secondly, there is a distinciton between collective licensing and compulsory licensing. Most of my points refer to compulsory licensing--not to collective licensing. you have to bear this distinction in mind. As to whether or not IP is property, there are extensive debates and people who argue on both sides of the fence. Some would strongly suggest that we move towards a liability rule framework. Look around you and you will see that even in the most entrenched of IP regimes such as patents (where the property nexus was often the strongest), judges refuse to grant routine injunctions---preferring rather to subject defendants effectively to compulsory licenses. Promote access and remunerate owners: seems like a good policy call to me. And the sooner we recognise it, the better.
