Kucinich on Freedom to Create
posted by mpawlo on Friday August 15, @01:59AM
from the more-guest-blogging dept.
Copyright Presidental candidate Dennis J. Kucinich has made another entry in the Lessig blog (where he is guest-blogging). Coming from a presidental candidate this is a rather unique entry. Presidental candidate Dennis J. Kucinich make a statement on the GNU GPL, Creative Commons and the expansion of intellectual property:

'The framers knew the importance of the progress of science and useful arts. Their intention was clear. Unfortunately, corporate interests have intruded on our process of government. The overwhelming influence of political money from corporate interests has corrupted the ability of Congress to protect science and the arts. Today, much of our science and useful arts is coming forth from sources independent of monopolies, thanks to people like you. Yet Congress continues to try to limit certain activities of inventors and artists in order to preserve corporate power and domination. We must, once again, move to reclaim the promise inherent in Article 1, Section 8.'
