The bully boy copyright barons under siegeI had a great discussion with Soren (my brother) the other day about the RIAA suing everybody who uses filesharing. It seemed pretty ridiculous to me. Someone kindly posted a lot of links on "Slashdot":http://slashdot.org/ so I thought I'd bookmark them here.
The text straight from slashdot:
gojomo writes "AaronSw offers a compelling idea: use anonymous transferable digital cash to allocate the monies collected for creators in a compulsory licensing scheme, to avoid some of the potential problems outlined by other compulsory critiques. LawMeme calls it a "Proto Whuffie" but expects fake artists to sign up for the loot. I might call it "voucher socialism" -- but that's not necessarily a bad thing." I'll have more to say on this issue shortly :) |
