   I think you’re going to have an Albert Einstein level genius, coming up with ideas that no one else is even capable of coming up with, to have even the remotest chance of controlling your ideas.

   Because distributing ideas is quickly heading toward triviality. And if you don’t do it, and quite likely don’t do it for free, someone else will.

   It’s funny how writing on your blog makes me write smarter.

   Couldn’t agree more. One of my teachers back in school talked about some art movement (or was it his own personal belief) that “true art” — or whatever — should have no need for the artist’s name to be ascribed to it. “The right doing of what needs to be done,” the quote I attached to the memory. You could knit pick the name thing but the core message is gold. In the longrun, I see “copyright” as a blip in the radar. I’m surprised “idea police” only pulls up 3,650 results on google…. that is what this all feels like sometimes. But good job with your open-source work Mr. Tim, you are helping lead the way forward.

   tim, when are you planning on writing something about “datawakes” again?
   When u want to talk datawakes, I want to talk music.
   When u want to talk music, I am on about datawakes…anyhow.
   I had this awesome (I think…) idea that each person should have their own database assigned at birth, and the db is an extension of their individual self and rights. You could grant anyone else access to various parts of your db, but you would always retain the info as yours personally, and “the other” entity’s lookup system could only access the data in real time while you’ve allowed them the right to do so (not query and save). I think this idea could be amazing in terms of the future reality of huge amounts of electronic information, and the debate about personal info and privacy vs. data mining and ownership by corporations. Anyhow…wrong thread I realize but it’s an idea I’d like to get some opinions on

   The word you’re describing, in my linguistic universe is “securacy” and you would be able to assign levels of securacy to other people… that’s without dissolving down into talk about “momentities” and “perceptual continuums” etc etc…

   Datawake and music are the same, anyway, though, right? It’s all folk music, all rhythmic patterns, etc etc
