How free is this culture of media, books, movie, ext? Its not free. Nothing is free anymore and this is all thanks to the major corporations. In todays world all companies care about is money. In order for them to get the money they want they have to charge us in some way for their content. Even for a major movie studio to make a movie off of a similar foundation for a book has ask for permission or in other words buy the rights. Even if the movie is slightly similar the companies have to buy the rights or face a law suit.
    Back when Dreamworks was creating their major hit Shrek, they bought a book that had nothing to do whatsoever with what they came up with. They originally planed to use some elements but in the end the final product was different. Companies have to put up with situations like this in order to just be safe from being sued. If a company wants to make a movie out of a book such as what Warner Brothers did with Harry Potter then it is fair for the Author to get a prophet out of it but the publishers should not get anything. Music and books that people wright end up not being theres after they go through a publisher.
    The music Artists create for a living, the prophet is shared between the music labels, and composers. The music label and composer should be payed to bring the music out to the world but after that the money should only be given to the Artist. With books the Author shares the prophet with the publishers. Same as for music the Author should get everything. there should only be a one time fee to give the publishers after your book is released. Today this is only a dream. Maybe one day a deal can be worked out but until then, the way the world does business is unfair.

Our theme is PROPERTY
The purpose is to figure out a way to keep culture free. We find it not fair that the record labels or companies are selfish. They just want more money from us and even the artist. The companies should not have so much power over anything. They create it for us to buy and the only way for us to buy it is it it were a fair price. Piracy is the best way to get anything for a fair price.
