It is important for everyone to take note of some of the themes in the article, especially those of the Bhagava Gita.
Multi-national corporations are outsourcing labor to people who create better products, as was mentioned by their software ratings, and, more imporantly, are fatalistic in regards to their life here on earth.
While Americans are made of many different faiths and backgrounds, we are a country in respect to individual liberty, India and eastern philisophies are not. This is not an economic issue, it is a religious one. There is no upward mobility in India, there is destiny and caste.
We, as American's, can deciede what is acceptable for business to do by creating idea's, orginizations, movements. This is a liberty not afforded to the Indians.
Similarly, specialization applies to the global level and when nations specialize in one service or good, that is better for the entire global economy
There is no "global economy" unless you value global human rights. India produces thousands of coders who can specialize not by specilizing on the human resources that they have - but on the caste system that produces their human resources. American's are not competing with Japan in the Indian case, we are benifiting people who disrespect the masses of their own country because they were born to poorer parents - in a particular caste. India is not a Good thing for american business because it exists on the backs of millions of souls, never to be recongnized and whose only "specilization" will be that of a short lived existance.
didn't the wall street journal publish an aricle about this particular patent application and a few others yesterday? I'm not hating, but this is supposed to be a technology forum; a day late, a byte short i'm afraid. better job next time.
Is it not superbly ironic that a technologist is questioning whether we should impose a tax that would inhibit the movement of jobs over seas so our own human capital would be used less efficiently? Technology has brought about the questioner's dilemma. Moving jobs over seas is an economical technology, imposing a tax prohibiting this movement is technological hindrance. The questioner would be best suited if he changes with the times, and employees himself as someone who moves projects to cheaper, foreign countries, rather than one who sits idly and inquisitively by wondering how to stop the inevitable: technological evolution and his, rightful, unemployment.
Firstly, kudos to the article. It's nice to see that wired and its staff are on the ball and have at least one top notch reporter.
Secondly, the Internet IS the creative commons, why do we as people, freethinkers, and artists need to make various renditions of other peoples work? Let Disney own Mickey; let our own minds own our own works. Have some faith in our new technologies and those whom work them to supersede past intellect. The problem with copyright legislation is that it is pointless; copyright in itself is antiquated. Information is abundant; if there are any restraints made on certain formats or expressions then those will be the same that die out, with or without legal restraints.
Thirdly, Lawyers should focus on providing service for those whom lack understanding of laws and its convolution. I feel as though Mr. Lessig is a physicist working on extra-physical phenomenon. It is a shame that his wife retains his lost practicality.
Lastly, I hope he wins, only to help his supposed reflected upon self-worthlessness, to build his pride, and drown out his humility, as it is unnatural for an lawyer to carry.
"....Our federal tax dollars should be spent on defense and national infrastructure, not on foreign aid to bolster corporate sales penetration into foreign markets..." Isnt part of our national infrastructure an international system of commerce?
japan? isn't japan a country whose ethnicity is 99.9% japanese? America MUST globablize because we have no homogenious national ethnicity or heritage to fall back upon, our identity is reflective of the entire world. I think that Japan, while being successful economically on a global scale, is more like the bizaro-globilized nation than the true one.
It seems Mr. Katz is a little bit neurotic, he's reflecting on things that have already been laid out by prior intellects. Human beings are confined, like everything else on this planet, to their specific nature, globalism is people coming together and realizing that we think on common lines, and live in the same world. Corporations,on the other hand, are in this world to elevate risks from people, and hence, can do things that individuals cannot, and one of these things is explotation. Before any kind of system, whether it be humane or inhumane, can be laid down, there needs to be a framework for which it can lie upon, the simpliest sort of framework will surely arise from the basest form of existance, hence, one that is not natural and not confined to questions other than those concerning profits. Corporations are laying down an economic system througout all parts of the world, they're doing so out of their own self-interests, and with present disregard to humanity that is outside of their inc. domain. In the scheme of things, it's progress. We confuse corportisim with globalism because we're not truly global yet, we don't all speak the same language, we dont all use the same curency, yet we do all come from the same place, good old mother earth. Although greed is considered a bad thing, when it brings people together, which is what man is all about, it's truly a thing to beholden. As for the protests regarding the WTO, if these meetings aren't sinister, open them up to the public, why the hell not.
Sorry freind, but it is you that missed the point. When you say that "corporations are most certainly not interested in exporting any of the things which make America a very livable place," lets not forget, what makes America a very livable place is the self-rightious, individual drive for $, land, gold, and liberty. These corporations are opening the conceptual door in each third world country that they venture in, by showing the people in these countrys our red, white, and blue insignia of the entity, whether its a man, corporation, or government, that's just out to get there own. Lead on Coke, McD's, etc., and continue to show the world the concept that binds: self-interest blanketed by legalisim.

if you have complaints come up with something better.
