Everyone should have the right to commit suicide at least once. :p Suicide is always a topic that creates debate. The main problem, obviously, is that most societies of the world have a general taboo, usually relating to religious beliefs. Not surpr...  [Read More]

Perhaps it would be helpful to compare software with books. If an author writes a novel, he or she retains copyright to that novel. You as a buyer, purchase the book, but you don't have any interest in the copyright. All the buyer owns is the paper a...  [Read More]
