Such as PIPA and SOPA?
Believing that a concept such as a digital pattern or an idea is property that belongs to someone is borderline religious -- because I'm sure you fervently believe it without any supporting evidence. Just because you can monetize something doesn't mean you own it. If I discovered the wheel first, does that mean society owes me money bags for stealing my invention?

Bad legislation and lobbyism are no reasons for or against anything. > Believing that a concept such as a digital pattern or an idea is property that belongs to someone is borderline religious -- because I'm sure you fervently believe it without any supporting evidence. That is arbitrary from an objective point of view. Now name me a law or human concept that is not. Thank you for your assumptions about SOPA and fervent religiousness in a thread that has to do with neither.
