UN Bigwig: The Web Should Have Been Patented and Licensed

Posted by timothy on from the surely-he's-been-hypnotized-by-the-yes-men dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Cory Doctorow over at BoingBoing has unearthed an amazing video where the head of WIPO, the UN agency responsible for 'promoting' intellectual property, suggests that Tim Berners-Lee should have patented HTML and licensed it to all users. Amazingly this is done on camera and in front of the head of CERN and the Internet Society, who look on in disbelief."

    Hi there, I am troy McClure, you might remember me because you can't stop responding to my comments with various nonsense.

    1. You THINK that you elect your politicians.
    2. It doesn't matter WHO is elected, they are in UN and their agenda is to destroy your sovereignty.
    3. The only honest way to vote is with you OWN money, not with money of other people, thus voting in the market place is a much more honest act than voting to steal money from some to give it to you.
