Anybody ever consider, that if everybody is a shareholder in the major corporations, that we own the corporations? Anybody consider that we don't have top down control of them?, that we only vote with our consumerism?... and that there are essentially dictators that want to perform for the shareholder... a service to make more money, which could simultaneously gouge the very owners of the sytem?
How is this different than the communism that so many people hold in low regard? almost everybody is a part of some stock holding organization. Almost everybody owns part of everything...

I fear that copyright and patents are encroaching on something beyond free speech, they are targeting our very existence.

WE CAN have trial periods for laws!
