Bill: Rights to our own ideas
Details
Submitted by[?]: Drake Party
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: December 2236
Description[?]:
| To further technology we must offer some protection and ownership to make it profitable to those who would seek to improve our society. Not only is it a benifit to inventors and our economy, it is a right. An inventor should own his or her own ideas. It is immoral to claim new ideas as public domain. Therefore we suggest that inventors and artists are given copyright protection. |
