"10.Property – digital citizens have a right to benefit from what they create, and be secure in their intellectual property on the Internet"

  As a photographer, I support this part of the bill, at least in the spirit of that section. I don't want my photographs used in professional situations without AT LEAST my permission. Could you please expound upon what you've said instead of quoting the last right?

    I support the idea. PG's dismissal of IP in general is quite a bad idea, in my opinion. Yes it will be very difficult, but I think it is important.

      They say that good fences make good neighbors. The problem with IP is that there's no good way to fence off anyone's property. I'm not convinced there can be, because maintaining the metaphorical fences require controlling everyone else's computer. So I put more hope in new ways of doing business to help artists profit from their work.

        I suppose, perhaps, our current system can work just fine. Whenever someone is caught doing something illegal with another person's artwork (for example, using a photo-manip'd version of a photo that person took as part of a CD album cover) take them to court for copyright infringement. From what I can gather, anything more than that is draconian. I mean, what artist really cares if their artwork is used as someone's desktop background?
