I guess, it is because these are works that are copyrighted anyway ;)

This leaves some room for distributors to enhance their revenue for some time -- and get some small money from works like the Ilias or Hamurabi.

Geographically it sounds a correct statement. But those agreements all have a common agenda -- don't think about geography, but about the common agenda behind it. We are living in the era of globalization and one of the reasons for suc

Yea, and I see this as one of the main reasons, the quality of work is declining instead of improving (due to technical advances). In my country, when you build a building today, you hire a builder company. This company does no building t

To me it seams that they just don't care. Either they know, that the other countries will follow anyway (because the politicians are (select one or multiple): incompetent, bought, blackmailed, Pro-US, incompetent, ignoring their own co

Only the rest of the worlds did not recognize it! What happens to colonies can be seen in the plenty of former colonies that still struggle to get out of poverty.

Just use Google and you can yourself easily find enough references. Maybe I should add, that also European corporations did such things in Europe.

Of course, some types of protection for own inventions is necessary ... but what here shall be protected, are the building blocks of life! This is not about protecting own inventions, but about land-grabbing things that we did not invent, b

That is exactly the impression I got from the TTIP negotiations. The EU "partners" where supposed to sacrifice any of their positions, but the US (and US-corporation-) side always insisted in theirs. Unbelievable, that the EU does

That is, IMHO, just the opposite of a "free market". "Chained market" fits it better.

This alone is a strike against humanity: Now local patent laws that are widely criticized are even protected by international contracts (and thus have to be implemented by all signers -- and can not be changed, even the US can not change it

As much I see, just to few people in the world today have the interest and the capabilities to uphold the democracies of this world. This is the plain reason, corporations and big pockets can convert the democracies of the world into suppor

When this sets precedence, the possibilities for customers to defend their rights will be largely diminished. One further step in direction to almighty international corporations and right-less countries and people. Already, many countries

To which extend Net Neutrality was damaged, is debatable -- and likely we will only see in the future what the net-result is. I can only see for now, that they left dangerous holes in the Net Neutrality case here, which the providers where

Some people, and also the inventor of the WWW, do not agree.

Ironically, he is bashing about outsourcing, but he himself is doing just the same. Of course, he does it the clever way (I read the description at teamed.io, how he makes software-development cheaper by paying "more"): By breakin

I do not know, how the US carriers fare, but the "just line suppliers" of Europe and particularly of Germany are faring very, very well! They still make tons of money for sometimes lowest-level service. Of course, when you have mu

The newest news says, that the first big carrier is looking for legal ways to get around this. So "abolish" might be a little to much promise. The news behind the news is, that the EU parliamentarians likely did sacrifice net-neut

Of course there are different solutions. But is the solution really to travel more? ... and even more, when the rents in the adjacent areas also have gone up?

The reason (or at least one of them) is, that our money in the western countries has lost it's value much more, than we should believe. Costs for food and the like is kept low -- so we get the impression, that we get the same for the d

That are just shocking pictures to me. Well educated (as it seams) and hard working people, that can not afford at least a small regular spot of living. With the last big real estate deal in NY, the problem will be rising. The federal pover

Where to put the toolbar? The medium editor has a toolbar that only appears when it is really needed.

Maybe it would be great to know, why the US (the richest country of the earth) has such a massive crime problem.

Given, there is a corrupting influence of undeserved money on people ... Something similar would be interesting to know (but I guess, will never be researched): How corrupting is the influence of state-money poured into many industries of w

Looks rather neat, the bad thing is, that some kind of "inline" or "Medium-style" editing is not possible, as it seams (at least no example shows something like that). I think, in some cases, text-input boxes are just lo

Does not make it better at all! When this is so, than it is worse than I thought. When C++ is making such simple things so unnecessary complicated.

What I meant was: I want to spent my time with the problems that I must solve, not with by programming language induced problems! When I really need speed, I always can implement single routines in pure C -- I don't need an STL abstr
