"Have I just broken the law by writing this? Who knows"

The law on this issue could be stupid.... knowledge should lay in the domain of everyone, and not those who are greedy and selfseeking. Intellectual property rights has seen that american companies "own" the rights to plants and trees in other countries - b.......(a bovine with diarrhaea).. Owning things that have had a past history is a nonsense, the Greeks are already beginning to ask for things back from museums, where sites have been plundered in the past. People have died for writing their beliefs in books and newspaper, and yet we quibble over a few years, is the author dead, is the publisher dead, does this photograph image belong to me. God help our westernised society when it starts nitpicking., perhaps it time to change the law.
