This whole copyright enforcement business is getting so crazy that Republicans can’t find music for their rallies. I’ll just say it: the complaining rock bands are entirely in the wrong from a moral and ethical point of view. A song is part of the culture, a gift. If you want to control how it is used, don’t let anyone hear it. There is a reason why use the term “release” – as in release a song.

The Center for the Study of Innovative Freedom (C4SIF) is dedicated to building public awareness of the manner in which so-called “intellectual property” (IP) laws and policies impede innovation, creativity, communication, learning, knowledge, emulation, and information sharing. We are for property rights, free markets, competition, commerce, cooperation, and the voluntary sharing of knowledge, and oppose IP laws, which systematically impede or hamper innovation. IP law should be completely and immediately abolished.
We provide news commentary and analysis and scholarly resources from our unique pro-property, pro-market, pro-innovation perspective.
