Mark Ronson: How sampling transformed music

ChaosEngine says...

WD-40 wasn't patented because they didn't want to disclose the formula to the competition. In theory, no-one outside the company knows how to make it, so they do guard their IP zealously.

That said, there are certainly ways for content creators to get paid without copyright. I'm not arguing that.

For example, I've participated in a small amount of open-source development. I was paid by the company I work for to do it, because they needed features added to an existing open source product.

Then there's the whole SAAS model and open-source support model etc.

I think all of those are great and if that's the way someone wants to run their business model and it works for them, then more power to them.

The key point here is that it's their choice. They created the IP, put in the hours of work, etc. I believe that if you create something, it's up to you how you monetise it, and one of those options is copyright. It's kinda hilarious that certain so-called "libertarians" are arguing against a content creators right to decide how they make money with their creation.

sidenote: for someone called arugumentativeasshole, you've been neither.

I think the notion that creators won't get paid without copyright is a bit far-fetched. Just as the notion that existence of copyright ensures creators will get paid is a bit far-fetched.

It's certainly not impossible to make money as a creator without the benefit of copyright or patent or similar concepts. WD-40 famously was never patented, for example. Many software developers give away software and charge for service agreements on the software they've written. There's no copyright or patent system protecting that income stream -- anybody could offer service for the software they've written. But, they still manage to make money. Some of them a lot of money.

It's not impossible (or maybe even harder) for a creator to make money without copyright or patent. It's just a different process.

How the American Empire is Colonizing the World (pt. 1)

its not a country, a country cant do anything. there are people, persons doing this.

Saudi Arabia and Pakistan are our allies, yet are the sources of the terrorism moreso than Afghanistan.

The FSA are civilians responding to their countrymen being MASSACRED, women, children, old people, by the GOVERNMENT, the SAA.

Really clueless people who think the FSA are terrorists and SAA is legitimate. Disinformation is winning despite the clear video evidence that Assad is massacring civilians of opposing religious factions. I see this clearly, but then again I watch the actual videos from places that dont put commentary on them. Its disgusting what they, the leaders of Syria, have done to the children of Syria using the army as a tool. You do not attack civilians or give militia leeway to do so.

Support the FSA.
