All Hail Parse & Tikhon Bernstam

And down with the running dog capitalist Instagram!

Facebook forked over a billion dollars for a picture sharing app and a couple of kids cloned it in 30 minutes and put it up on Apple, of course opened source so the world can benefit immensely from the 30 minutes worth of work.  Privately I believe all facebook operations are NSA subcontracting, so no doubt instagram has features that eases the NSA work.  All the better that there is an alternative.

That USA citizens are obliged to invest their pensions in securities that are limited by our social constructs means countless pensioners just contributed a billion dollars for facebook to buy something they could have made for free or maybe $10,000.  Hey, you gotta love capitalism.  And when all of those pensioners are eating Alpo, they can post picks on facebook of interesting ways of serving it.

People who eschew intellectual property rights and love freedom will be dining on free range chicken with beet greens and, walnuts and blue cheese and yams.  And they will post the meal with Anypic by Parse.

I work with hundreds of people starting businesses every year.  Almost all of them rate fear of intellectual property rights infringement as the #1 block to progress.  Parse has shown yet again we need no intellectual property rights regime.  It is urgent we eliminate this regime in entirely in USA.

The IPR lawyers who defend IPR now lack any moral standing in society.  We need to begin to shun them, treat them like pariahs.  They are gate keepers, assuring we are denied a constant flow of good and new.

Feel free to forward this by email to three of your friends.
