Re: Major Intellectual Property Rulings by SCOTUS (none / 0)

If you can make a living on performances you have no problem with or without IP, though you are better of without.

This is the opinion of the ex-programmers who are politicians, but musicians do not agree.

To me, "free IP" is merely a variation of "free trade" - another scam advertised as idealism.

You might then want to note that "free trade" and "more IP" is marketed by the same forces.

For example was TRIPS promoted as part of "free trade" and opposed by those opposing "free trade".

A vote for PES is a vote for EPP! A vote for EPP is a vote for PES! Support the coalition, vote EPP-PES in 2009!

Not really. Corporations don't have a single agenda. For example, Google versus Verizon on net neutrality. Bayer and Axel Springer have very different concerns on IP.

You're wrong, big corporations all want more IP for obvious reasons.

Look at the EU patent directive: not one big business talked against it. Zero.

How's that coherent with your view?

Only SME went to the fight, but commission listen only to big business and not to innovative SME.
