Communist states by and large *have rejected copyright law from the beginning*, because it is the imposition of private property upon information itself. There is a vast repository of public domain video, music, pictures and so on, which were produced in the Soviet Union, Cuba, and other communist states. It is even used by media companies for advertising and other purposes - because it is public domain. This is but one of many facts about history, economic development, and the terms of understanding that refute every word you posted.]]></description>

Because for the last few hundred years this has been the factual reality of how things work whenever powers-that-be attempt information control?

		<description><![CDATA[&lt;i&gt;&quot;and the capitalist system views file sharing as an existential threat to private property.&quot;&lt;/i&gt;


Not quite. Actual capitalism would realize that it&#039;s the concept of private property in itself which stands as the primary argument &lt;b&gt;for&lt;/b&gt; filesharing.


Fascism and communism, however, do inherently believe information can be &quot;owned&quot; and controlled, which is why the MPAA can not be described as a capitalistic entity to begin with. All of &quot;intellectual property&quot; belongs to the collectivist view, not the individualistic.


Hence....corporatism, fascism and communism are the usual suspects here. Not capitalism which is obvious only in it&#039;s absence from much of the modern market.]]></description>
