#5 Re: Life's EULA and the Ownership Society Posted by glanz (74.13.xx.xx) on Wed 7 Feb 2007 at 13:22 "...he expects our era to be remembered as the era when the spirit of sharing was first explicitly declared, fought for, and valued." If the resistance to this new awakening to sharing is a symptom of its increasing influence, then he may be right. Never before has there been such a firm, albeit futile, resistance to sharing by say Hollywood, Bollywood, and all the other WTF-a-woods of the world such as the so-called music "industry" and proprietary software. This not only applies to IT as such. The American patent frenzy attests to this. As one of out favourite Borg once declared, "resistance is futile." I see this as the decline of the American Empire, for it has been demonstrated that whatever is resisted, persists, and whatever is ignored, simply dies, such as unjust laws that would legislate human freedom to a level of slavery acceptable to the profit-minded. The piggy societies of the world, represented by mega corporations and local companies' greed, are warming themselves from the last flicker of their last flame. Freedom will be taken back, without permission or consideration to the laws of whereverland. And not by violent revolution, but by the unkindest cut of all: ignoring those who would impose injustice. ~(,~,`>
