Problems with intellectual property

Intellectual property is ready for reform in everything from food security to global health. Here are some recent links that is taboo to talk about in the rich world right now. Almost everyone hate to talk about it and if they do they deny the problems more or less completely. Most people are even willing to abondon the democracy to protect the income system that is based on unfear exploitation of the worlds poor through IP-regulation.

So far in the Norwegian election, it seems that the majority of Norwegian don't care about using the billions of dollar from the oil fund to oilsand extraction. Almost nobody cares.

They also don't care about massive surveillance of almost all digital information.

If the Norwegian politicians give a damn in climate change, forget everything they have learned about free expression, how can they travel to places like Afghanistan anThey are not interested in much else than keeping the status quo.d kill for free expression,or travel to conferences around the world and talk about the importance of reduction of CO2? Why are they spending 1 percent of GDP every year on developing countries when they earn ten times (?) through the deeply unfear international ip-regulation?

Some times I have problems to see the principal differences between the "well-functional social democracies" and corrupt regimes in the developing world. Both don't care about climate change, and both have their victims. The Norwegians build more and bigger palaces than dictators in the third world and give a damn how and where the money come from. Both give a damn about the future for anyone else than themselves.

Am I wrong?
