DOWN WITH THE GATEKEEPERS OF IDEAS

I was just thinking about the concept of intellectual property. How can anyone own an idea? Although I am not part of Gneration i, the first generation to fully grow up with access to the web, I have never thought about buying an idea or experience. When I went out and bought a record, I have always thought that I was paying for something tangible. Be it the the album art and packaging, or the record itself, It was something solid. Same with a book, I was paying for the form in which I take in the idea, not the idea itself. In the past, many evil greedy men have locked up information for profit. I believe that practice, of locking away information, is innately inhuman. As humans we survive and better ourselves through the sharing ideas, and the collision of ideas.

This is why the internet is so powerful. The ability to reach so much information, in the comfort and privacy of our homes is, at worst good for developing the desire for higher pleasures in an individual, and at best very dangerous for the elite that own us all.
