is a sharp break, when the manifesto dives into the individual

focus on the lack of balancing of interests, and the opaque, corrupt

<b>Reinier is distorting facts</b>: abolition of the <i>intellectual
pro...whatever</i> concept doesn't imply at all abolition of author's
rights. UN's ESC explicitly states that one thing is author's rights
-human rights according to UN's ESC- and a different thing is the <i>intellectual
pro...whatever</i> -what can never be a human right and only answer to
corporate interests-. Read, Reinier, read ... read the UN papers ...
document yourself, prior to making such statements.<br>
<br>
That's what Reinier pretends, to purportedly show us as <i>indecent</i>
villains who would be "<i>violating human rights</i>", because of what
we would be <i>doomed</i>. Come on, Reinier ... accusations like "<i>'intellectual
property' deserves protection against expropriation <b>in a decent
society</b></i>", "<i>depriving people from 'intellectual property'
without compensation would <b>violate human rights</b></i>", "<i>a
literal interpretation of the above UDHR provision <b>would mean the
end of PP</b></i>" (by the way, PIRATA is not PP, as PP is for Spanish
folks the Popular Party, part of European PP; we, in the international
scope and together, are PPI), etc, are for me nonsensical and
offensive, and show that Reinier doesn't pay attention to other's
arguments or supplied documentation. Regards,<br>

P.S.: One hopes to visit this mailing lists to be able to work, and
also to debate; though not to be nonsensically called <i>indecent,
human rights violator</i>, etc. Of course that Reinier can disagree
with PPI views; however, I think that there are other ways to do it.<br>
