Hey There
This is another bad idea of Europeans. It speaks to the trouble of
corporation ruinning over peoples feet, it fails to address the
question of when something just becomes part of us, like the Mona Lisa
or Cyril Debergiac (spelling?).
It also doesn't look at the trouble that we are all in this society
together. We need to share. How else can we live? No sharing?

That can also be trouble. 1000 people work on quick books. Who
owns it?
See the trouble? How many people work on Linux?
The only real solution I see is to admit that we all own everything
the ideas
and inventions created in our culture. And we can limit that for
good reasons
in some instances.
