Message | P.S.: This bill OFFICIALLY abolishes the destructive evil of PLAGARISM (i.e. using and/or "stealing" another person's writings and works as their OWN kind of what I did to the DWP's budget bill awhile back.....haha)!!! |

Message | We assume the CWFP means 'plagiarism'? How can plagiarism be destructive if there is no plagiarism law? How can someone steal someone elese's work, when ALL work is held in commons? With no copyright, and with absolute freedom of usage of all media, there is no such thing as 'plagiarism'. We see no reason to return to a regreesive state where a person can 'own' a word or phrase. The idea of selling off sections of our language is illogical and abhorrent to us. |

Message | So, if you write a beautifully written novel that can make you a MILLIONAIRE overnight, you believe that some snobby capitalist should publish the EXACT same book and copyright it in the Holy Luthori Empire (which has copyright protection) and thus become a BILLIONAIRE???? We don't believe that is FAIR to you, a devote humble servant to His Holiness, Immessence (haha)!!! |

Message | We don't believe millionaires really have much grounds to moan about money. There is no such thing as one's own work: every "individual" is so influenced by society, any "individual" works are better seen as recycled, re-thought out ideas. There is no such thing as an "original" idea - therefore there should be no such thing as copyright. |

Random fact: In cases where a party has no seat, the default presumption should be that the party is able to contribute to debates in the legislature due to one of its members winning a seat at a by-election. However, players may collectively improvise arrangements of their own to provide a satisfying explanation for how parties with no seats in the legislature can speak and vote there. |
