In XXth century, Communism was about nationalizing companies.
In XXIst century, Communism will be about only recognizing a copyright duration of 10 years, after which the content is free to copy. And compiled content must be open-source.
It's the nationalization of content. If explained this way, I would be in favour of that kind of communism, and there's hope that it would participate to sharing more knowledge, be safer and advancing humanity faster. But given all countries are constrained by the WTO bindings, it would take a rogue nation like Cuba or China to implement that.
- chii 9y agoChina doesn't enforce copyright because it's a benefit to them right now. you bet your bottom dollar they will if and when it becomes a liability (e.g., they start to invent things that are novel, but is easily copied).
- eeZah7Ux 9y ago> nationalization of content Making content available to the whole humanity is completely different from "nationalization".

- dragonwriter 9y ago"Communism" may be a distracting term, but I'm just going to throw this out for a fictional reference along the same general lines: http://wiki.p2pfoundation.net/Infosocialism http://wiki.p2pfoundation.net/Infosocialism
