| Message | Mr. Speaker, This will end up promoting selfishness among the creative and innovative citizens among us. Ideas should be shared among our people. -- Noburu Tsukuda, GNRG Spokesman on Internal Affairs |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, The GNRG seem to be misinterpret the idea of copyrights, copyrights protect expression and not ideas. Copyrights encourage the creative and innovative citizens among us to feel comfortable to share their technology and art without having the fear of having their works stolen. Mr. Speaker, by providing copyright we would not be promoting "selfishness" rather confidence that the law is allowing them to express themselves and to be credited for their work. -- Jherane Batnassan Leader of the SAP |
