The most famous episode of the terrible intellectual property war.
A long time in the making, a very complex issue, I did my best to make
it clear. This illustration is an allegory of the battle between
corporate monopolies and public domain for the extension of
intellectual property. The legend of Achilles' invulnerability served
as inspiration, not the actual Trojan War. This design is copyright
free.
Ce dessin n'est pas une représentation d'un épisode de la guerre de
Troie, seulement une référence au mythe de l'invulnérabilité
d'Achille. Le personnage blessé au tendon est une allégorie des
monopoles financiers qui se battent pour allonger la durée du droit
d'auteur au détriment du domaine public (en position couché). Le
mouvement du libre est symbolisé par la flèche dans la jambe du
guerrier. Ce dessin est libre de droits.

Awesome, with the exception that It's not "corporate capitalism", it's "corporatism". There's nothing free market about copyright, it's a state entitlement to monopoly on a particular instance of culture or expression of information.

Thanks for this observation Mr Foerster. I agree with you, free market has nothing to do with copyright laws, but the original free market has nothing to do with our modern capitalism either. In my opinion it's clearly the entire “modern capitalist system“ who fears any change in copyright laws, hates the idea of free culture and denies any rights to public domain. Copyright is much more than just a state entitlement to monopoly, it's a business philosophy, a mercantile ideology which englobes, trademarks, patents and licenses. Everyone wants a piece of intellectual property today, some people really think they deserve legal protection for creating wealth out of nothing (ex nihilo). The problem is nobody has never created anything out of nothing, except GOD of course ...

Je suis curieux de savoir d'où est tirée la scène mythologique représentée sur cette très belle image : de quel vase grec vous êtes-vous inspiré ?
