That's the one thing that favors huge amounts of processors in the same box. All this "the internet is one giant distributed computer" doesn't acknowledge this. A box designed to be separate just will not have the latency advantage of a supercomputer designed from the ground up.
You cannot own an idea. You can own a banana. If you write a song, someone could write the same song independently of you. If you have a banana, nobody can have that banana independently of you.
"Intellectual property"!=property. I won't go over this again--if you don't get it you're hopeless. Oh, and libertarianism #2 is just what the abolishment of IP is about. Unrestricted liberty of thought.
Would there even be closed source commerical products? There are no copyright laws, so all protection would have to be in technology. And why should you care if the code is in something locked up--it's still available for open source projects.
If you just had mass chaos following world war/whatever, intellectual property would not be among the first laws hammered out in stone. Killing and taking of (physical) goods would.
I just want the abolishment of all "intellectual property" laws. If these court cases help with that, then it's a good thing. I'm sure most slashdotters want all "intellectual property" laws abolished. And they will be.
Ha, but I'm guessing you were just following the rules of Verant. Must be great to be out there doing something instead of banning people for "kill stealing".

This chick needs to be cloned or something.
Look anywhere and you'll see paypal donating links. Who needs a philanthropist? Lots of individuals can do this. I've donated to xiph and mozilla.
Spent four miserable years there. It's basically a pit in the ghetto. At least the gangsters aren't as bad south of you.
That's like saying field, but not household, slaves need to be freed. All patents need to be abolished. And they will.
They know that, and they'll change the address regularly.
If a country decides to abolish copyright, we'll be forced to block all traffic, right? So we'll be the ones needing anti-censorship proxies then.
Just as I said, alternate between pessemism and cynicism. Get them both in when you can. You think you're original? Yawn.
Of course you want them to win, right? But you must offer the pessemistic prediction. You must alternate between cynicism and pessemism.
You people would be the ones trying to ban just slave imports back in the slavery days. No compromises.

Thank you.

Good example. Didn't abit put out press material on a board that basically said "fuck you RIAA" (something about encrypting hard drives)?
How is this communism? It's libertarianism if anything. Why not call it atheistic while you're at it?

Complete abolishment of "intellectual property" laws, that is.
You wouldn't need it, because nobody could lock up anything.

Those who don't understand binary don't deserve to live, right?
We don't even use base two (or the shorthand base sixteen).
