Now Constantin Films (a German movie company) is cracking down on those spoof videos featuring Hitler (from their film "Downfall"). They don't even realize that with these videos, they and their film have recieved more attention (and ultimately more money) than had previously been the case.
Yet, they decided to bite the hands that are feeding them.
This really shows how ridiculous IP laws are. Intellectual Property cannot exist in reality. When ideas are shared the value owned by the first person is not diminished when the same value is attained by the second person. Thoughts and Ideas are not scarce (scarcity being the very reason property exists in the first place) so they cannot be owned.
But don't tell that the Government and their rich pals who monopolize shapes, patterns, colors, words, and mental cognition. To copy is theft, according to them. But this is a silly and preposterous notion at best.
