Google should be the last company in this world to complain about someone
stealing its innovative work. It's whole business plan has been based on
scouring the Net to pickup other's innovative work! They even go so far as
to include my most innovative landscaping techniques within their photos
used in Google Earth and I certainly can't remember giving Google
permission to do that. "Intellectual property rights" is just plain
bullshit from the get-go. No one, let along any corporation can possibly
claim property rights on technology or thought that has only come about
though generations of previous social innovation. But of course the
neoliberals and their quest to commercialize the world for their own
private greed has made this silliness law. Those laws need to be struck
down.
Cheers.
