I love how the founding fathers stated it was impossible
for their forefathers to give up THEIR
right to self governance and self determination in
perpituity, and then Lincoln just goes ahead and
ignores it just like king george tried to do.
No I am not for slavery. According to the laws
at the time, those empowered to vote did so,

But to generate tax revenue! The IRS could be reworked for this purpose.
If the governement is providing IP protection does it not deserve revenue from that protection?
IMO This would tend to be a more honest way to generate revenue than from income tax on individuals. In addition it would push corps to ditch IP that is not profitable into the public domain.

Proportional length for IP
on
Fair IP Laws?

· Score: 1
I would recommend a proportional time period for IP. I would limit IP rights for a maximum of 10 years on all inventions. This would be for individuals ONLY
I would shorten IP protection for Corporations to 5 Years. Sale of IP from an individual to a corporation would drop to 5 years minus the length of the individuals period of existing protection. I would ban sale of IP from individuals to individuals, and or corps to individuals.
I would allow corps to license IP from individuals under the 10 year plan, but if more than two or three corps license it, the protection time should drop to say 7 years.
The above would do a number of things.
1st It would tend to keep IP in the hands of people as opposed to Corporations.
2nd It would allow the inventor to make money after which the IP would be public domain.
3. It could speed up public domain status for IP that is in demand. As more companies license the tech the protection gets shorter.
4. It would encourage funding for individuals to invent.
I would also ban exclusive licensing from contracts regarding IP as well
Whether tis nobler in the world to bear the slings and arrows of outrageous thinkers, or to make laws against a sea of idiots and by banning hide them.
Perchance we can live with the idiots, and just vote against their ideals.
If fascists come to power through a FAIR vote, guess what that is DEMOCRACY in action. If the people are idiotic enough to vote them in so be it.
To Ban a group of people from running for office or to even express their ideas is to PAY LIPSERVICE to democracy. It says that in your opinion the average citizen is incapable of thinking and choosing for himself. Which is the fundamental ideal which democracy is founded upon.
If you are too afraid of the average citizens vote, then at least be HONEST about it, and abolish your "so-called" democracy for a monarchy or some other such idea where the "enlightened" elite can decide for everyone else......
Hitler came to power due to 2 things:
1. A Terrible economy due to an unjust and crippling peace treaty for World War I
2. A lack of Previous democratic principals in Germany. I.e. Democracy had no time to take "root"
It really pisses me off when people decide they know best what others should or should not be allowed to think, all the while making proclamations about freedom and democracy etc. etc......
