IP Laws Hurt Poorer Countries

IP Laws Hurt Poorer Countries

October 15, 2002

It turns out that the US probably never would have developed into the country it is today, if it had been restricted by US Laws on Intellectual Property as they exist today.

And now, poorer countries are being held back from growing the world economy because of the stifling laws the Big Media tries to impose on the rest of the world.

It's interesting that Big Media is really a multinational conglomerate, made up of mostly non-US corporations all acting together in a cartel.

Artists really give our work, for very little compensation, to this multinational cartel, which then does everything it can to prevent our work from being distributed worldwide.

Does that really help us as artists?
