“If instituted, the TPP's IP regime would trample over individual rights and free expression, as well as ride roughshod over the intellectual and creative commons. If you read, write, publish, think, listen, dance, sing or invent; if you farm or consume food; if you're ill now or might one day be ill, the TPP has you in its crosshairs.” IfsThinkingWritingWellsMightIndividualCreativeRightsExpressionOne DayIntellectualIllFarmsRegimesPublishIndividual RightsFree Expression Author:Julian Assange
“What do prisoners do? Write, of course; even if they have to use blood as ink, as the Marquis de Sade did. The reasons they write, the exquisitely frustrating restrictions of their autonomy and the fact that no one listens to their cries, are all the reasons that mentally ill people, and even many normal people write. We write to escape our prisons.” PeopleIfsWritingReasonFactsUseCoursesBloodCryNormalPrisonIllPrisonerAutonomyFrustratingInkRestrictionMentally Ill Author:Alice Weaver Flaherty
