Asian musicians "The Slants" denied trademark by Obama regime

[crimethink]

Obama regime denied it, Court of Appeals disagrees, and now the SCOTUS will take the case.

Their own chosen name is "offensive."

Band is thinking of applying again but using the name "The Slopes" instead; perhaps that will be less offensive to the delicately disposed individuals...

Not exactly.

I am against corporate "intellectual property." Especially when it risks lives or rapes people and the planet.

But trademarks, patents, and copyrights are legitimate protection of a working person's interests, when it used to a limited degree and for a limited time. An author should have the exclusive right to publish and sell his work, for example, during his lifetime. A small business should be able to establish a trademark so some crooked parasite doesn't set up the same business across town to steal the good reputation of the original. An inventor should be able to control his invention during his lifetime and for reasonable purposes.

Asians are a very pragmatic race, and do not (yet) have the degeneracy of the White race in being "sensitive" to things that don't matter.

Good points! Intellectual property rights should only be held by someone with an intellect, the creator and perhaps his immediate family if he dies, before the time limit, which would exclude corporations

I disagree completely... what sustains corporations is exactly the block on knowledge by academic criteria (why the nobel prize has become such a scam for the most part). People who dont grasp this will remain divided, and this gives opinions like: intellectual property is okay but not when in the hands of corporations. This is an oxymoron.

Knowledge is embedded in the fabric of the Universe, we do NOT invent anything but discover. Moreover, what may be true today, will be proven false at some point, eventually. Copyrights on what? People will fight toes and nails to not see their "cherished theory" to take a dive, being destroyed by a newer one. Thanks to the copyright ideology, which prevents newer findings from being recognized faster, delaying Mankind's achievements.

Feel free to think how you wish but the scam is embedded in the premise itself.

Lets keep on marketing Life itself and we'll see who has the final word. Such a view legitimates the death cult. To get rid of it, we have to accept that exclusivity of knowledge is a deception. That is how and why the NWO came to existence 2-3000 years ago when mystery schools voted for the "control of knowledge".

the fact that man didnt create the laws of physics or biology is exactly why he cannot claim to ownership of these laws nor any deriving theories enabling discoveries.

double talks, I am afraid.

so do you go after "free association"
