Marx and copyright

After reading Moglen's "The dotCommunist Manifesto" I was reminded why such regulations are both annoying and boring to me. It is hard to try to spend a whole semester learning about laws and legislations that aren't respected or enforced by anyone. It reminded me of Marx's problem with commodities. The problem is the creation of a system where commodities have power over people and where people and what they stand for, no long mean anything. IP legislation in the United States has become a commodity. It becomes the end that justifies the means, no matter how unfair the means may be. In this case, it is somewhat ironic, as unjust and unlawful cases have taken place they have all been justified as means to "increase innovation". It has become a system that that argument alone can win the most ridiculous of cases. And we are all indiferent. We are in a state of mass hibernation, where we accept all that is being done to us as it justifies the end.
So I like to believe that one day we will wake up as Marx predicted that the workers would wake up and realize what was being done to them and rise in rebellion. I can't wait.
