Full Show - 5/19/11. Faith & healthcare, Intellectual Property Rights

Tonight on Adam vs. the Man with Adam Kokesh: Adam has some good news for you tonight: you are not a pirate. In fact, because it is morally wrong to use the force of government to impede the free flow of ideas, you have the RIGHT to copy music, movies, text, software, inventions, and IDEAS! Speaking of ideas worth copying, Adam has best-selling author and President of Sojourners Jim Wallis in studio and Stephan Kinsella, intellectual property rights attorney, joins Adam from Houston Texas to tell you how to beat back the twisted logic of intellectual property. But that won't stop the government from imposing a twisted morality of stifling innovation on you to make you feel bad for copying things that big corporations don't want you to copy. Well tough! Because the internet is here to the rescue!

@TTT1776 - It's funny how IP shills always mention Windows while Linux completely shatters Windows. Linux has already taken over in research facilities, governments, and many business. The only thing standing in the way of the general public choosing Linux is that it's really hard to buy a laptop or computer now days without having Windows tossed in and charged to the bill. I garauntee you if they made Windows an option for +$50 or whatever they charge and Linux for +$0, Linux would take over

I was a big supporter Adam until this clip. Now you lost me man. 100%. I just woke up to the fact that you are a disingenuous media whore that you claim to oppose. You see, if you fight for my freedom and I fight for yours, we can all agree to disagree. But I'm a recording artist, and you just invited the hordes to decimate my village. That fat shit you have prancing there like it's a big joke - the principle is large my friend, larger than that fat retard. He IS a pirate. Taking what is not his

To clarify: Slavery was not left off the constitution. Their choice was have a republic or try to end slavery and fail on both counts. The DOIndependence says: "All men are created equal". They knew exactly what that meant and left it to future generations to USE IT where they could not. There was not mistake. Neither was there a mistake in the IP issue.

[mikedans55]

And now taking it too far: Adam the Barbarian. Wants to kill IP and has the intellectual cowardice to stoop to Glenn Beck level lows by equating the "mistake" of leaving Slavery issue out of the constitution with the inclusion of IP, when if he has studied any history he would know that's just a 100% media whore tactic. Barbarians at the Gates? This one's in your mothers bed with a sawn off horses head. Liberty to steal is not Liberty. Recording is an ART distinct from live performance.

@RPJunky flagged for being an idiot who mistakes a book for a song

@RPJunky lmao @ capitalism not working on invention theft, what universe do you come from?

[RikkiLo1]

@Ionhelen The reality is your work has value to someone who commissions you to create it. Otherwise, how is it actually valuable? Music is the same way today. The money isn't in selling CDs, it's in touring. The CD is just the brochure and new artist actually are embracing free digital distribution in order to advertise themselves so people will pay to see them live while other rely on force to have government transfer wealth to them.

@ClutchPedalReturnSpr, watch the whole video. He argues that that is one of the two places in the Constitution where the founders got it wrong... the other being slavery. And he argues that using the force of government to establish monopolies over ideas, and inventions does the exact opposite of promoting the Progress of Science and useful Arts.

[ClutchPedalReturnSpr]

Hi Adam Kokesh are you sure about your concept of Intellectual Properties? According to the Constitution for the United States of America Atricle I Section 8 clause 8:

To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries;

@NoSoulProductions37 If you don't want your wallet stolen, you don't leave it laying in the street.

I wholly support you in that your idea is your's. That is not the question. IP is the idea that you can use the force of government against other people.

If your work is valuable, there are voluntary ways to protect it. NDA's and trade secrets are quite common.

I disagree with what you said about not being able to own your ideas. I wish to be an inventor and all of my ideas i don't want stolen by others that see it. i never would have thought that you for theft.
