  1. Intellectual Property new word on A Replacement Term for 'Intellectual Property'? · · Score: 1

    It seems to me that the pharse could be turned into-'artistic emblements' or 'intellectual emblements' An emblement is the harvest of a crop that one has planted on their land, it is considered personal property. When one sells that land they still own the corn, but not the land. They planted it, tended it, harvested it. But the can only sell it one time. They don't own the corn flakes, or popcorn etc.. If they want to make some more money they've got to grow some more corn. Technology brought about all of this nonsense about IP and I do believe that technology has ended it. Musicians will have to go back to literally singing for their supper, everytime. Gone are the days when you could make a few good records and retire. 'Recording Artists' are a thing of the past, they just have to face it.
