While defending his file-sharing business model, the CEO of "Nappster" exclaimed:

"The internet is all about the freedom to sell and exchange other people's ideas!"

I hate to keep bringing up this article every time the intellectual property debate rears it's head. But The Libertarian Case Against Intellectual Property Rights (http://libertariannation.org/a/f31l1.html) does a good job of discrediting the idea that a person has any right of ownership over the ideas they create.

/in before the move to recurring discussions/

The internet is all about the freedom to sell your ideas and exchange them with others. You don't have the right to sell or share others' ideas/content without their permission.

Rather than bore you with IP or internet discussion, I'm going to just post my favorite Bender quotes:


Everybody was doing it... I just wanted to be popular

Grab a shovel. I'm one skull short of a Mouseketeer reunion.

What do you mean "we", flesh-tube?

What kind of party is this? There's no booze and only one hooker.

You put a one and two zeros in front of that or we pass.

Game's over, losers! I have all the money. Compare your lives to mine and then kill yourselves.

Shut up and pay attention to me, Bender! Look, I love life and its pleasures as much as anyone here, except perhaps you, Hedonism Bot. But we need to be shut off! Especially you, Hedonism Bot.

Futurama quotes people...


My fellow Earthicans, as I have explained in my book Earth in the Balance, and the much more popular Harry Potter and the Balance of Earth, we need to defend our planet against pollution. Also dark wizards.

Two can play at that game.

"I swore never to be silent whenever and wherever human beings endure suffering and humiliation. We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented."

-Elie Wiesel

and on a lighter note...

"Good news everyone! I've taught the toaster to feel love!"

-Professor Farnsworth
