Talk:National Intellectual Property Rights Coordination Center

Seized


The recent action of the Department of Homeland Security in regards to the seizure of specific domain names hosted on the internet appears to be a blatant disregard for the public’s right to access intellectual property via the public domain.

It appears that once again, censorship is alive and well and is being openly sanctioned by people that do not hold public office, namely the members of the board of directors of corporations that distribute entertainment.

These inherent dinosaurs, instead of realising their folly is lost, and close up shop are instead choosing to deny their impending fate and are using the courts at the taxpayers’ expense, to prolong their longevity, if even for perhaps another decade.

While in truth, it is illegal to knowingly distribute intellectual copyright material without the owner’s consent, it is however legal to post bookmarks to where this property is located. The onus is not on the link provider or poster, but on the material holder and ultimately, the consumer.

So, what message does this convey? It is a very simple one... The Consumer no longer wishes to pay for the salaries and/or infrastructure of anyone, anyplace, nor anything, who is a wholesaler or retailer of intellectual property. The rights should and always be owned by the creator of the work, and as such compensated at a fair market value for their creation by a public that is willing to freely assign a value to that intellectual property.

The actions of the Department of Homeland Security in conjunction with the Department of Justice - United States Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York and National Intellectual Property Rights Coordination Center remind us, the taxpaying public, of the bullies of the playground who just got told “NO, I’m not giving you my lunch money, anymore.”
