The problem with Copyrights
8 years ago
Copyrights are an interesting concept. Are they needed, or are they a hindrance? Yes.
Copyrights applied to creating something is a noble idea. You make it you have the right to make profit from it. But what happens when its taken to far or it is applied to non physical things? Thought control. Can you OWN a joke? Who made that first chicken crossing the road joke? is it even funny anymore? How about a concept? How about a word?
I think a person should profit from what they create, that's only natural, but only that person and only as long as they live. That's pretty straight forward, easily defined and very clear. I don't care if your Great great-...... -great grandfather made the first cart with wheels. does that mean anything with 4 wheels should profit him now that he is dead. the money going to people who had nothing to do with this idea? No. Same with concepts. There is a cold and evil thing creeping into the minds of people today. Owning abstract things. Like how candy crush will sue anyone for using the word candy or crush. Did they invent the words? No. Did they re design how they were used? No. They made a 'copy paste' been done before matching game with a theme. But they think they are entitled to it? That's downright megalomania there. Who thinks they are so great that they own a color, or a word, or a series of words, a pose, a look, an expression or even a thought? Someone who thinks to much of themselves that's who.
Disney has gone off the deep end with this as they have straight up STOLEN the grim stories and paid nothing for it and made it "their" cannon but will BREAK you if you DARE mess with 'their' ideas. That's hypocritical, (especially for people still fighting to keep copyrights on a mouse of a long dead artist while also trying to end others so they are free game) its unethical and it is in fact EVIL to do it while acting like a saint.
Pepsi technically OWNS the specific colors they use just like Mc donalds does. If that was formally legalized they could force you to pay them if you used that color in a painting or drawing. Does this sound insane yet? Monsanto or Satan.inc as some call them, even tried to patent genes. Yes, they could CHARGE you to have a baby with a particular color of eyes, hair color or other features. The scary part is the fact nobody really cares, well not until its to late and something happens.
There is a fine line between making a healthy compensation for your work, idea or effort on something, but there is also squeezing it for money as long as you possibly can for your great god, Profit. Particularly if it was not yours to begin with. Have I peaked your interest yet?

As for example the PepsiCo symbol just happens to look the same as a doppler radar signature of a tornado, would this mean that your local news or even the Weather Channel has to pay PepsiCo everytime they show a tornado warning with said radar image? No because it's not the same color scheme just the same shape orientation, this is because what Pepsi has is a trademark not a copyright for thier symbol and colors.
