Was verstehst du genau unter "rumsäbeln"?
Das, was Lunkewitz auch sagt: Dass Mechanismen wie VG Wort _heute_
auch nur zurück zu fahren bedeutet, den big playern der IPR in die
Arme zu arbeiten.

The key to the transformation of a monopolistic information economy
towards a non-monopolistic information economy is to replace
monopolistic IPRs with other means of rewarding intellectual
activity. This transformation will of course be opposed to the very
end by the cyberlord class, which furthermore is politically and
economically very strong. As the privatization process subsumes
under cyberlord monopolies more and more of what is now public
domain information, the public of information users will acquire a
higher level of political consciousness, and this struggle will
eventually express itself as the main conflict in a monopolistic
information economy. As such, it will increasingly manifest itself
in cultural, economic as well as political fronts.

Compulsory licensing. The most important demand for breaking the
information monopolies of cyberlords is the retention of compulsory
licensing and the expansion of its coverage.
Compulsory licensing works as follows: Somebody who wants to
use/commercialize patented or copyrighted material approaches NOT
the patent or copyright holder, but the government for a license to
do so. The government grants the license, whether the original
patent or copyright holder agrees or not, but compels the licensee
to pay the patent/copyright holder a royalty rate that is fixed by
the government (or by law). Many countries in the world have used
and continue to use compulsory licensing for important products like
pharmaceuticals and books.
