Synopsis

In an era defined by rapid technological advancements and a seemingly boundless flow of information, the role of copyright law has become more critical than ever. Yet, the current state of copyright law is failing us. It is outdated, overly complex, and stacked in favor of large corporations at the expense of individual creators and the public interest.

In this groundbreaking book, we embark on a journey to explore the profound impact of copyright law on our society, examining the ways in which it has both fostered and hindered creativity and innovation. We delve into the complex legal, economic, and social issues surrounding copyright, shedding light on the urgent need for reform.

Through a series of compelling case studies and insightful analyses, we uncover the hidden costs of copyright's relentless expansion. We expose the ways in which copyright law is being used to stifle creativity, suppress dissent, and privatize our cultural heritage. We also explore the devastating impact that copyright law is having on education, research, and the free exchange of ideas.

But this book is not merely a critique of the current state of copyright law. It is also a call to action. We offer a roadmap for reform, outlining specific steps that can be taken to create a copyright system that is fair, balanced, and fit for the digital age. We argue for a copyright law that puts the power back in the hands of creators and the public, and one that fosters a more just and equitable society where creativity and innovation can flourish.

This book is essential reading for anyone who cares about the future of creativity, the vibrancy of our culture, and the health of our democracy. It is a clarion call for change, a call to reclaim our cultural commons and ensure that copyright law serves the public interest, not just the interests of a privileged few.

Integrate your inner child...

Love, And, Bloom

Sometimes in childhood, we may accumulate anger sadness, or feel emotional neglect when our needs were not met. This may result from the loss of connections in our identity. We felt anger disappointment or possibly rage.  
We will use a meditation session to release the feeling of shame. It takes a conscious healing method to repair our little one inside. There may be hidden feelings that we have not been aware of.  
Then, we will have a deep integration process work. We find our true identity and let our little one once again express the pain and sadness. We let them shine and be playful. We are no longer at war with ourselves reacting to the old programs and past coping mechanisms.

Summa Theologica - 02 Pars Prima...

Saint Thomas Aquinas

The Summa Theologica (or the Summa Theologiae or simply the Summa, written 1265–1274) is the most famous work of Thomas Aquinas although it was never finished. It was intended as a manual for beginners as a compilation of all of the main theological teachings of that time. It summarizes the reasonings for almost all points of Christian theology in the West, which, before the Protestant Reformation, subsisted solely in the Roman Catholic Church. The Summa's topics follow a cycle: the existence of God, God's creation, Man, Man's purpose, Christ, the Sacraments, and back to God. (Summary adapted from the Wikipedia) 
 
This is part two of six parts of the Pars Prima, consisting of questions regarding the Trinity and Creation.
