by anonymous on 2005-08-14 20:33:09As human our entire development is crafted from individual experiences. With that the thoughts we derive are uniquely our own. I believe it has been proven that two people that witness the same thing come to two different conclusion about what happened. I believe the samething is true of intellectual property, when we create something, it is ours, we created it with the thoughts we have. All copyright law does is protect the intellectual property from being ripped off and sold as someone else invention. It protects my rights to sell my intellectual property, and recover monetary damages from people who pass my work off as their own. -

by metric on 2005-08-15 20:45:57I agree that the thoughts we derive are uniquely our own. I disagree that you still own them once you convey them to others. The capability of owning information at all is its own debate entirely. So called 'intellectual property' is a misnomer. It is legally treated completely different from property. see Copyright Law. I believe the phrase 'intellectual property' is being used for the same reasons that words like 'stealing' and 'piracy' are being used. They want you to believe that it is property when it really isn't.
