VOICE FOR HUMAN RIGHTS
I am glad to hear that another organization is fighting to save the free access to knowledge and technology. The battle is not just for developing countries however.
Currently about 1% of the world population own all copyrights and patents. This is proof enough that copyrights and patents are bad. Though they are not intended to create monopoly, the fact is that they have on a global scale. Because of the rampant abuse of copyright and patent laws I feel that all copyright and patent laws should be simply abolished! I have personal knowledge from my own studies and experience that technology exists which would improve the lives of every person on the earth, but the holders of copyright and patents would no long maintain their monopolies if people were allowed to learn and use these advances in technology freely. The owners of copyright and patents seek no less than to be the Slave Masters of the world.
I feel that every person on earth deserves the right to acquire knowledge and use it to the limit of their ability so long as it is not used to harm or oppress others.
We don't need to be one country, one race, one religion, one language, or one culture. We do need to be ONE VOICE on the issue of oppression and abuse of power.
I am pleased that the truth is now coming out. People all over the world are becoming more aware primarily due to the Internet. There is a great reprisal brewing here by the elite. Being exposed is making them desperate. There are attempts to change the Internet to control its' content. The CIA is trying to take control by force. They want all the route keys. I fear we are in for a storm. Perhaps large databases should be built and filled with all the knowledge available now while it is still available. My government has placed itself above the Law.
