Copyright in an ever-abundant universe ridiculous?

[dannyboybell]

Hi All!

I've been thinking a bit about the right of anyone to copyright anything that the universe delivers to us thru the available channels(Such as abe-materials, PATHS-technologies and such)...


Does that seem ridiculous and cheapish to anyone but me?

Does anyone else think that might slow the process of our human and technical evolution considerably cause ppl sit on their inventions in their garage and not sharing their piece of the universal puzzle with the public so that all interested minds could contribute and enhance cause the inventors/channels are greedy or something of the sorts?

I'm not sure myself but it's been an active thought in my brain for a while so I thought I'd just throw it out there

Copyright is a product of Capitalism

Hello

I absolutely agree with you that copyright is ridiculous. It is a product of greed. And I also agree that open sourcing makes development much faster and more productive. (Just look what open sourcing has brought about in software development)

I believe that one can earn money from ideas which may pop into his/her mind but, I don't think that one can privatize an idea or own it. No one owns anything and everything belongs to Almighty God.

Patenting and ownership has gone too far, and maybe someone will own our genes in the future, who knows!! Some corporations have started patenting seeds!
