The strongly-worded decision means that Mr Sarkozy's scheme has backfired and inadvertently boosted those who defend the free-for-all culture of the web. http://technology.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/tech_and_web/article6478542.ece Comment : There is no such thing as "intellectual property". That is an artificial concept created and promoted by companies 100 years ago to secure profit. It lead to absurdities today like patented plants and animals. For non-material artistic products other ways of payment must be instated. estman, Düsseldorf, D | |  | | | ©2002-2009 WarWithoutEnd.co.uk |
