STO: Well meant and unintentional slavery

[Tenet Nosce]

The "why's" are many, it would seem, and law in general feels that it is fair to the protect the inventor/creator vs. the other individual or group who would duplicate the inventor/creator's work. Would you agree?

I agree to an extent. I think people deserve compensation for their work, so long as we continue to abide by this paradigm of working and being compensated.

However, I would raise a subtle point- are we really the inventors/creators of anything? Or are things invented/created through us? There are just so many ideas out there that seem to occur to multiple individuals simultaneously. In that respect, it would appear somewhat silly to assign "ownership" of ideas to one individual over another, simply because they were the first to file papers with the patent office.

Let me rephrase that then to indicate Entity A's continued enjoyment of his/her current physical incarnation in the third-density illusion. : )

Yes! My apologies if I appeared glib in my comment. However, I was serious in that I believe the way we use words to frame things makes all the difference in the world. We say things like "killing" or "taking a life" but are we really capable of these kinds of acts?? I suggest not.

My rough guess would be that law is not a physical manifestation in the way that mountains are a physical manifestation of plate tectonics, or wind is a physical manifestation of the equalization of warm and cold fronts, or cancer is a physical manifestation of anger. Rather I would call law a manifestation of culture - that invisible domain within which peoples relate to one another and form collective identities.

Yes... I tend to agree. Though previously I was thinking more in terms of how the actual words we use to write our laws literally reinforce the veil... "ownership of information", "taking a life", etc. My general thought is that, to the extent that we have laws, it would be wise to write them in congruence with our best knowledge of how the universe operates on the other side of the veil. Thus, we would speak of "stewardship of information", "interrupting a life", etc.
