| Rath said: @LCEC. Jesus wouldn't be a pirate. Turning water into wine is not a breach of intellectual property as the 'design' of wine doesn't belong to anybody. If he had turned the water into a specific wine perhaps he would have case to answer to. |
Yes, but someone had to have invented wine? Why didn't we find it as a crime(As I'm sure the Pharases[SP?] wanted to)? Wine has a history dating back to around 6000 BC so if they'd acutally cared back then, then I'm sure they would have been angry at him. Even if you want to go to a more specific copyright, the wine he made was probably: 1. locally influenced, or 2. actually a copy of someone else's. If Jesus invented his own brand of wine, I'm sure, since everyone loved it at the party, it would exist today. However, since I've never heard of "Jesus Wine", I'd say this is not true.
Because there were no intellectual property rights, no-one cared, because the people who made the wine still depended on sales, not a paycheck from other people using that "Intellectual property".
