That's what magnatune and creative commons are doing. Check out their license terms which allow free duplication but require attribution. It's interesting, but abolishment means no attribution either. Besides, nobody creates information anyway. You just discover it, usually with plenty of influences.
You mean mentioning who you want your "entertainment tax" to go to? It's simpler just to have donations than force people to give (even if you're giving them a choice).
Without copyright, DRM-protected content would either be ignored, or cracked for fun. Geeks who hate copyright tend to like very much encryption technology.
There is up and down. Gravity points down, so does the inherent ability to copy information. Laws that try to stop that are wrong, and what comes up must come DOWN.
Clearly this is insane. It's nothing other than welfare for copyright holders. One way to make things more sane is to abolish copyright. Without copyright, nobody would have a legal right to prevent others from copying music, and thus would have no justification for asking for a tariff on equipment for recording music to. But copyright should be abolished mainly because it is unnatural--cheaper recording media would be just a side effect.
Agree on abolishing copyrights and patents? The poster argoff does as well. You are not alone.
I'm for complete abolishment of patents and copyrights as well. I've read a lot of slashdot and don't remember many others that truly are about abolishment and not some other compromise. Might want to checkout out infoanarchy.org , although it's kinda dead. Oh, mod me up if you can.
Ok I'll show you... http://forums.magnatune.com/read/messages?id=55409 9 . Here you can download for a variable amount, and the lowest is not always the one chosen--the extra is thus a "tip". OK, now the amounts listed here is something called "money". This "money" can be exchanged for goods and services (liquids and solids can be bought for consumption!). Is it simple enough for you now?
If you did all numbers in hexadecimal (but still using SI), they wouldn't understand it enough to ban it. They'd probably just laugh at you and say only the decimal radix would work.
Going beyond the knee-jerk reactions against anything genetically engineered, the key to making these safe is to make sure they can't breed. There was a controversy over engineered trees that make better paper. The researcher noted that making them sterile greatly reduced whatever risk there might be for problems later on.
I read around 1/5th of the literals are decimal. Decimal has no place in computer code (unless you're coding bowling scores). It should be nearly all hexadecimal. Have there ever been strictly cosmetic changes to the source (like renaming variables)? This would be a good one.
I figure those reading may have an xbox so might be interested in tipware.
Tipware makes it beautiful on the inside.

Tipware here is giving information at perhaps just the cost of distribution, yet accepting donations. The publisher could possibly make much more doing it this way. I don't see cheaper prices with notices to donate on games now.

Let's see, personal attack as well. You somehow managed not to misuse words like "theft". Overall fits the pattern of one with a bad argument.

Of copyrights and patents? Without compromise?
I'm counting two so far. Could you just point out all these posters advocating abolishment?
As I said, the removal of that justification is a side effect. The very idea of copyright is insane, so insane laws follow naturally.

Wonder who discovered this. Oh well--I think it's a good one. That and "information wants to be free!"

Tips are given in the form of money. Money can be exchanged for goods and services. Need more explanation?

It's the five year old cards that are dragging down the games. Have you looked at specs lately? Every single game can still be played with a geforce.
Taking means the original isn't there. Copying isn't taking.
I keep hearing about them. Choice is good, but choice is confusing and creates incompatabilities.
But keep me as freak--I'd like to think I am. I don't think anyone else replies to me as much--and you even write more than I do in the original.
Here. Apparently only a fifth choose to pay the smallest amount.

That makes it around 25 (19h) GB per side.

Tips (money) can be exchanged for goods and services!
