Your logic is that you can ignore my intellectual property claims whenever it suits you and you start accusing me of being an immoral thief when I ignore the spurious intellectual property claims of others in a similar fashion. So you're obviously a hypocrite nazi cockroach who claims some people like photographers or documentary makers have rights, while others like me have no rights whatsoever. > > Using his logic, if you take a plot of land and cultivate it, plant > seeds in it, fertilize it, water it, weed it, and produce a crop of > vegetables that he has the right to take those vegetables for his own > use. Using my logic, you can ignore my spurious intellectual property claims and use my usenetpostings as you see fit in a similar fashion to the way I'm ignoring intellectual property claims by others and share their creative output with others as I see fit. All my claims in this thread pertain to intellectual property and more specifically to digital information. The universal declaration of human rights specifically stipulates that everybody is free to share and exchange information regardless of any spurious intellectual property claims. The universal declaration of human rights doesn't state anywhere that people are free to take any plot of land as they see fit to use it as they please. > > He claims that the photographs or other files are accessible to him on > the web and that if you didn't want him to have them you would not put > them up on the web.

He doesn't see that a > copyright is the equivalent of a locked fence. So why are you trespassing in this thread when I've specifically prohibited nazi cockroaches from participating in this thread? If photographers have the right to impose terms and conditions of their preference regarding their creative output, I don't see why I shouldn't have the same right to impose terms and conditions of my preference regarding my usenet postings. > > You can be assured, though, if Sobriquet was the gardener, that he > would squeal like a stuck pig if you took the fruits of his labor. Nobody takes away anything on the internet, people just share information, just like people share information in the local public library. But I guess the local public library is a vile and anarchistic institution that promotes theft in the eyes of a nazi cockroach like you. > > Human rights are limited by laws, customs, and expectations of ethical > behavior.

I like your analogy. Human rights don't necessarily entail > encroachment on the rights of others - even if only implied. The freedom to share information doesn't encroach on the rights of others in any way. Everybody is free to publish their pictures or compose usenet postings (freedom of expression), but nobody is free to impose terms and conditions of their preference regarding their creative output, whether their creative output consists of usenet postings, photos or whatever. Because such spurious intellectual property claims would obviously be ignored by anyone with a basic understanding of information technology in the digital age. I can create a bitstring, like 00101101011011111100010000000000000000101011, but I can't expect to impose restrictions on others regarding the use of that bitstring, just because I happen to be the original creator of it. This statement holds for any bitstrings and hence all bitstrings belong to the public domain and nobody has the right to impose restrictions on others regarding the use of particular bitstrings because they happened to be their original creators and claim a particular bitstring as their intellectual property. The only way to retain control regarding access to a particular bitstring is to keep it to yourself after you have created it, because as soon as you put it on the internet, all subsequent intellectual property claims are spurious and can be safely ignored.

Where use constitutes reading and replying to your posts, only if the reader grants you the extra rights you seek above those legally inherent in a newsgroup posting. I certainly don't. -- Chris Malcolm Warning: none of the above is indisputable fact.
