I have to say, I really love the idea of copyleft. I had never heard of it before ,but now that I have it seems perfect. Claiming no ownership of something is the coolest thing, I can’t believe it’s not more popular. Well, I can believe that to be honest, given the whole capitalism thing we’ve got going on. But I guess you can really only transcend capitalism if you have no good ideas, or enough to hand out for free. I fall into the former category.

I mean I’d love to take advantage of this kind of thing, I just don’t feel I have anything to contribute. The only problem I have with this is that it’s exclusive to ideas. You couldn’t copyleft a piece of writing, could you? I mean you could but anyone could make modifications to it and the integrity is lost. And without the author’s original name and viewpoints, a huge piece of the intended influence is gone. This is only crossing my mind because this is my area- or at least kind of. I’m an English major, and I’m just trying to find a way that this could carry over.

I suppose that a universal publishing kind of thing could be established, but I guess that’s kind of the internet, isn’t it?
