It's getting like a nightmare vision of capitalism in the 1980s. You know like Robocop or Gremlins 2 where the city sold out to corporations. Corporate interest over common sense.
We'll just have to mail DivXs to each other like we did in the late 90s when bandwith was low...
- luriel 15y agoCopyright is a government granted and government enforced monopoly. Its got little to do with capitalism.
- gouranga 15y agoRubbish. When the successful capitalists lobby politicians and pay them off regularly, it's a closed loop between government and corporations. Us peons don't get a look in.
- luriel 15y agoIt is well known (but sadly still surprising for many) that capitalists are some of the biggest enemies of capitalism. What you are describing is regulatory capture, and is caused by government power, if government didn't have so much power there wouldn't be such a great incentive to corrupt it.
