Obviously, since you keep trying to claim you support Intellectual Property when you're clearly on record against it. You just claimed in your last post that Intellectual Property isn't even "property" LOL.
Forget trying. I think you actually set the record for most posts taken out of context.

Because it really isn't. Yes, it can be bought and sold as normal property is, but the right that's being bought and sold in such transactions isn't absolute. It's only one side of the social contract between the creator and the public that the Constitution allowed.
I don't have to let anyone just move into my garage, but I do have to let anyone parody my copyrighted works, let teachers make academic use copies and let people quote my works in reviews. Such are the limitations of my limited monopoly rights on my works.
If you want a concrete example of abuse that applies here, just look no further than those news organizations that keep us from posting even parts of stories from them. They have abused copyright in order to prevent FReepers from posting fair-use portions of their articles for criticism, discussion and review.
