Philosophy Wire by Spiros Kakos [2011-08-01]: Marvel company won a sue against a former Marvel creator, who claimed ownership of the comic heroes he designed during the time period of 1958-1963 [source: BBC News]. In the old days writers wrote for their own satisfaction and even used aliases in order to hide their real name. Now everybody wants to claim ownership over everything. Corrosion from money is a sneaky thing. It starts without you knowing it and when you finally do notice, you have nothing left to protect anymore... Who can imagine Parmenides asking copy rights for his work?(c) Philosophy WIRES - Commenting world news from philosophy's perspective...
