Bill: Digital Brainchild Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Deltarian Liberal Movement
Status[?]: passed
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: February 3173
Description[?]:
| If a person creates code, if they put in the hard work, time and effort into forming these crucial parts of computer technologies, then the Liberal Party believes that they should have control over the distribution of said code. We simply ask, that through this bill, the rights and freedoms of creative content is respected by the Government of Deltaria. The Liberals have previously advocated for a similar deregulation of source code. We are doing so again in our endeavour to provide true control to creators for their hard work and effort. This time around we are hoping the forum will make a clear statement, and that is simply that we respect the rights of technology developers in operating a business and in making their efforts worthwhile. No long will source poachers be able to pass off the work of another as their own, and expect to compete equally unless it is the sovereign choice of the individual as the creator of the source. The Government did not create these codes, and we hold no reason to act like they are ours to decide upon. |
