You end up in a world without the richness of art and innovation. It&#8217;s one thing to give credit, it&#8217;s quite another to demand indefinite intellectual ownership under threat of grandiose punishment.<\/p>\n<p>Imagine for instance, if long ago, a guitar player in the southern united states thought up the walking bass riff and immediately copyrighted\/patented it. That would mean very little if ANY blues music would ever be recorded, depending on if he was open to licensing. No blues music means no country, no r&amp;b, and no rock &amp; roll! Basically, no american music! No american music, no Recording Industry Association of America! Without the free sharing of intellectual &#8220;property&#8221;, the corporations bent on utter monopolization of industries built on those artistic and intellectual materials, there would be NO INDUSTRY TO RULE in the first place.<\/p>\n<p>The RIAA owes its very existence to the process it is trying to outlaw and all the devices which have made the audience\/creators of american music grow to the level of involvement it is today. The record labels&#8217; level of inhumane greed and bills such as this &#8216;Induce Act&#8217; which seek similar ends are of no benefit to the common good, nor to the actual creators of american music. Such thinking is fundamentally flawed.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you try to imagine a world where, from the start, everything invented had exclusive ownership of the person or company or origin..
