Sunday Funnies – Property Rights in the Internet Age

Thanks to Pete Rigsbee from Postnet MN 112.  This is from his newsletter.

kids-playing“I was walking by the park the other day and saw a group of young children that made me chuckle and think of these “Toddler Property Laws.” Enjoy!

  1. If I like it, it’s mine.
  2. If it’s in my hand, it’s mine.
  3. If I can take it from you, it’s mine.
  4. If I had it a little while ago, it’s mine.
  5. If it’s mine, it must never appear to be yours in any way.
  6. If I am doing or building something, all of the pieces are mine.
  7. If it looks like mine, it is mine.
  8. If I saw it first, it’s mine.
  9. If you are playing with something and you put it down, it becomes mine.
  10. If it’s broken, it’s yours.”

Of course, we can all think of some adults who still believe these to be true.  I might have titled this piece “IP Rights and the Internet,” or “Property Laws in the 21st Century.”  Or “The World’s Shortest Handbook for Corporate CEOs.”
