[@Draft2@] Copyright Chaos

Postby Swkoll » Sat Dec 31, 2011 9:38 am

I'm writing this issue in response to @@ Issues need in the game @@.

Validity: For nations who chose Option 2 on Issue #85.
2. "Yo, dude, like, don't be hatin' man," says teenager @@RANDOMNAME@@. "We're like, going to change the whole structure of our society. Everything should be like, publicly available to, like, everybody, dude. Copyrights are so, like, uncool man and we need to get rid of them. That'd be totally radical, and cool as well."



Panic has erupted in @@Name@@'s music industry after copyright law was repealed.

[Option] "This industry needs copyright protections returned immediately," exclaimed CEO @@RANDOMNAME@@. "Ever since it was removed our profits have been falling left and right. I say we return to the strong copyright laws that made @@NAME@@ proud, so @@CURRENCY@@ can start flowing back into government taxes and *coughs* my pocket.
[Effect] Frequent copyright related arrests plague @@NAME@@
[Stats] Lowers civil rights, raises economic strength, lowers political freedoms slightly

[Option]"Let's not go off the deep end here" states political moderate @@RANDOMNAME@@ "I understand the desire of authors to protect their work, but remember the purpose of copyright is to encourage authors to create more works. I suggest that we create a short copyright of, say 10 years. This will let the content creators protect their work for a short period of time."
[Effect] Content creators flee @@NAME@@ in response to low copyright protections.
[Stats]Civil rights decrease, economic strength decreases slightly, economic freedom increases

[Option]Cool kid on the block, @@RANDOMNAME@@ has a different opinion, "Man, don't be killin' our fun man. That's like, takin' away our rights man." He pauses to take a whiff of a questionable substance. "I'm saying we need all need some of that freedom to get what tunes we need man.
[Effect] @@NAME@@'s music industry has gone bankrupt do to lack of intellectual rights protections.
[Stats] Raises civil rights, lowers economic strength significantly

[Option]"Why don't we get rid of the private sector all together!" exclaims Marxist @@RANDOMNAME@@. "We could get rid of copyright all together while giving out music for free! Peoples taxes might take a hit, but they will be so happy about all the free media.
[Effect] The private sector has recently been banned.
[Stats] Lowers economic freedom significantly, raises economic strength slightly, raises taxes, raises civil rights.

What do y'all think?

Copy and paste this into your sig if you remember the old F7.
97% of People of NS won't notice I did my math wrong, if you are the 1% who did, copy and paste this into your sig.

I lost the Game.

Then the anti-Obama folks opened their mouths and I listened to what they had to say.

Now I'm pro-Obama.

How the crap would that raise economic strength?
Anti-fascism is a common obligation for sensible citizens of modern countries. But why was the term stolen entirely by anarcho-socialists?

Communion is a better alternative to the whole industry collapsing.
