Boyle on Webcasters and WIPO

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the adversity-is-good-for-the-soul dept.

pjones writes "It's always amazing to see an article in Financial Times that supports webcasters and open source, but James Boyle sticks it to the World Intellectual Property Organization in his latest article, "More rights are wrong for webcasters." Boyle lays it out so that "economists, political scientists and people who simply want to make money" can get what's wrong."

    They know it's wrong. They don't need to be told. It just pays better than doing the right thing. Heck, in this society, doing what pays better IS the right thing. They'll stop when angry starving peasants start sticking pitchforks up their elitist asses. No sooner, no later.
