  • Intellectual property rights perpetuate the commodification of art.

  • i need to hear more. people who write book, songs, and do art in general will be at a serious disadvantage...

    i need more info to change my mind

  • @GodAthie how would they be disadvantaged? Those same people could use ideas from other writers, singers, actors, etc to make their work.

    It seems like the music industry and movie industry are really in favor of IP because they are threatened other people could do what they do for much less money and BETTER.

  • @neworleansrocks

    ok, say i write a book. a soon to be ground breaking best seller...

    what happens is some big company copies the whole thing word for word and sells it.

    im not talking about music, because music artists make most of their money through shows, but novelist make money through selling novels??

  • @GodAthie The problem is that you assume you are entitled to an income for producing something. That isn't true if no one is willing to pay for it. There are of course, creative ways to limit the flow of information without the state. If you have a following, you could announce release of the book in advance, and get ppl to order copies ahead of time. Secretly print them up and sell them. A publisher might rip you off afterwards, or maybe there would be unwritten norms against doing so.

  • @DancesWithWindmills The issue with intellectual property isn't the fact that it is copied or reproduced, it is the fact that who ever created the material (book, music, art, invention) is rarely credited with having done so. Using Neworleansrocks' example, about writing a book, if a company copied it word for word, sold it and said "Neworleansrocks wrote this," the novelist gets incredible exposure, and perhaps a new following of readers which is not the same as...

  • @katina217 ripping off another's work, and claiming to be the creator of said work. I don't see how anyone can be okay with taking credit for ideas their brain could not generate. It's not hard to credit the source of an idea...unless one's goal is to be a fraud. If you watch a movie at the theaters at the end of it are....the credits. Would it even be ethical for one to claim to have come up with an idea, implying that they put in all of the necessary hours to perfect said idea? No.

  • @katina217 thats like saying sony cant stamp there logo on a album just cause there labels and not the musicians

  • I'd like to hear more about this issue. That was a great video.

  • My 2 Cents:

    I don't think that copyright should be for IDEAS/CONCEPTS. Copyright should be for products.

    For instance, if I did a program/product, you should NOT open it and copy anything(a source code/an electronic component) that's there exactly like it is there, BUT, I can make a similar product with the same IDEAS? like h264 or Diodes.

    Today the corps are patenting GESTURES or CONCEPTS like the two clicks or zoom with fingers!!! That's pathetic!!!

  • @TemporalOnline They tried that "copyright for be for products" thing and it ended up where it is now. Don't be fooled. Copyright is strictly a monopoly privilege enforced by the government. People should be able to modify/copy/replicate whatever they want, if they can sell it better then they should benefit.

    Especially with the complexity of products today, it's even less of an issue than ever before.

  • Haha, the next real wars fought between countries will be over Internet freedoms... some nice pro gov. propaganda airing in a few days … CNBC presents “CODE WARS: AMERICA’S CYBER THREAT”

    This is the only thing we need, EDUCATION about THE PROBLEM and how to avoid it…. NOT MORE GOVERNMENT INVOLVEMENT! They always take over a good idea and drive it fatally overboard. They will completely ruin the internet to ensure the lowest common denominator stays fat, stupid, and on their side.

  • So awesome to see this on TV. GREAT!

  • Have more people from the Von Mises Institute on in the future, these guys have great insight every time I've seen them featured on RT and others.

  • @MadXMax187 YESSSSSSS! THIS!

  • IP is DEAD - get over it

  • With intellectual property the courts should treated it like property rights and voluntary contracts so individual will file suit against each other.

    Government to pre protect the filings is wrong just like a District attorney

  • @europa No one has intellectual property rights. How can you regulate an idea? The whole premise is nonsensical.

  • @Mauhadeeb28

    ideas are the fuel for action ( Kinetic / Potential energies) you regulate the commerce of these ideas and that happens daily.

  • @europa Regulate the commerce of ideas? You are still saying that people have a right to a non tangible thing outside of life and liberty.... Isn't that right a direct knock on liberty? I can see someone having an idea, making a physical thing out of it, then demanding property rights over that creation. But not the ideas that led to it. If someone else sees that creation and thinks they can make it, why should they not be able to make and sell the property they created?

  • @Mauhadeeb28

    I totally agree with you there is a difference between keeping song royalties in check and patenting the music chords/note under a single czar.

    It depends what circumstance we are talking about if someone takes your song and sells it as their own there should be retribution if someone writes a song that sounds familiar/similar to yours no deal.

  • Respond to this video...  I meant as well regulate the commerce section of potential/kinetic

  • Please Adam get ride of that god damn Obama ad! I hate having to look at his mug.
