i could say i agree with this article because i also have others reason such as numbers cant be a property.
What you guys think? Should software be called an intellectual property or not?

With the recent development of artificial DNA you are nothing but a set of data (numbers, software) that can be replicated any number of times therefore you no longer have any value.

Already started in like the 40s or something (correct me if I'm wrong). Current legislation allows patents on biological matter. One day, you might be born and maybe because you have a rash, you're violating a patent.
But from what I read from the article, the guy is stupid.
"A book has authors can collect royalties, software? Ah, they wish it was so. What the fuck is that supposed to mean? Someone wrote it, who the fuck cares whether or not they collect the royalties or not. Are we supposed to expect something different out of lets say piriform vs microsoft vs fred the programmer?
"Upgrades". Moron, go fuck a bike. It's like saying, "Charlie and the chocolate factory is what I bought, I should get Charlie and the big glass Elevator too." An upgrade can be seen as the second volume or the continuation of the original.
Articleman thinks that software vs books are different things. Not entirely. "They even claim to retain ownership and sell only the right to use. But even this claim is specious." I'd like to talk about citation. Ok, maybe not since I'm bored already, but damn you I still think my statement has a point. You own the book, yes, but not the content. You may use the content as the author intended you to do so. (ie: read it, and discuss it and maybe slight reference to it, but not modify it and even copy it.) Think how moronic it would sound if someone said, "I bought this book at a book store and now it's my god given right for me to type up a copy for my friends." You'd have more people collectively telling you that you're stupid than those trying to argue about whether dling online is right or wrong.

He'll be left penniless even before he steps out of his house.

um no.
an upgrade, how i meant it, is like getting a super sized meal at McDonalads... u still get the exact same thing, just a few tweaks, but u are trying to say that I am asking for something completely different just cuz it has its roots in the original. so yea, fail.
not that it matters. we are all members of a torrent site and complaining about intellectual property, thats a laff in itself.
