You may have noticed at the bottom of all the webpages on my side, that there is a “Some Rights Reserved” icon. Clicking on it will take you to the Creative Commons website, where you can learn about what rights we reserve and what we’ve “given up”.

Over the last few years, I’ve been doing a lot of research on intellectual property, and especially it’s relationship to Biblical morality. I’ve seen many Christians accepting the entertainment industry’s mantra that violating copyright is “stealing”. After looking at the modern attitude towards intellectual property, and the way that scripture looks at “true” property, I’ve concluded that the idea that copyright violation is not “stealing”, that is, it’s not a violation of the 8th commandment.

I’m currently thinking of writing a booklet on the subject, to pass around for criticism. Of course, when it is done, I will be releasing it in a freely distributable version for criticism.
