Living since 10 years in Europe, that Motherland of Capitalisms and working as a Key Account Manager I have to admit being a Communist at heart. Has it something to do with my Russian background? – I am not sure. I know only since I was a child I could not understand money and all that money-making.
Even being a big girl now I still can not understand the ways all that works and why somebody should always make money out of everything possible under this sun.
One of the things I deeply disagree with is the copy-right. Whatever I can contribute to this world, especially if it is done from the heart – why should I “protect” that? It is like a bird I let free from a cage of my talents – I let it fly free and happily, and find its own ways…
Whatever I create belongs to the whole world, why should I charge for that?
I know, the fear is that some indecent people can misuse it and (again!) make money out of under their own name.
I know that this idea of everyone sharing/contribution the talents to the society for free sounds extremely utopian and silly.
But I also know that one day it will happen, and the Capitalism will collapse, because it is not based on the natural human behaviour (no matter what they say).The only condition that the humanity should come to it on its own, in an EVOLUTIONARY and not revolutionary process.
And it will. One day.
LOVE, axinia

This photo I used symbolically: the red waters means the blood which is the base of all today`s riches.
And the pink sky is the future, which will be build on love and trust.
Do you think it is so unreal?
Money isn’t everything, that’s what people do not understand…
Axinia, Its a wonderful thought, to believe that human nature is basically unselfish, but I do not believe that. You have seen that in all communist countries…the economy has finally collapsed.
Nita, you are right.
But the so called Communist countries have never experienced any Communism! – Anything done on force will never work out, that’s for sure.
For me it is the same as somebody who is practicing Yoga is not necessarily a true Yogi
There has never been any Communism in any country, so nobody has ever seen how it works.
What I believe is that is has to be an evolutionary process that will naturally lead the mankind to the harmonious existence. Nobody knows how long it will take, till people will recognize their true selfless nature, it may be a long way to go. But I prefer to start now
а за что тогда жить тем, кто творит эти замечательные вещи – музыкантам, писателям, etc.., произведения которых принадлежат всему миру?
если не будет авторских прав, то они либо умрут с голода, либо им придется уводить внимание с возвышенного на то, чтобы прокормить свою семью.
так что авторские права – это деньги для развития как человека, так и проекта.
В it-области очень хорошо работает open source, но это немного из другой оперы и там работают другие законы…
соблюдение авторских прав важно для нашей Наби – как ни крути
Purespirit, I see your point very well. But tell me how did these people live BEFORE copy-right was invented?
Dear Axinia,
die Natur ist kapitalistisch, immer wird etwas angesammelt, immer eine Zeit lang und immer nur eine begrenzte Menge. Und dieselbe Natur ist immer kommunistisch, weil immer auch alle Aktivitäten sich einem größeren Ganzen unterordnen.
nature is capitalist, it always saves something, always only for some time and in a limited amount. And the same nature is communist, because all efforts of nature are subordinated to the bigger whole.

Wow, I totally identify myself with the wonder of the author of “I do not understand Copy-Right”. However, I perfectly understand purespirit too … The situation reminds the crossing of the fairy tale – we must to choose the road to move further on and can either bother for the self, or remain faithful to the call of the heaven.
I totally agree with axinia, but I don’t know what I should answer to the purespirit’s logic. In case there would be no copy rights, our world would be much better place to live in. The typical sellers disguise as the modern artists and transform the fine art into some markets unit – the galleries into the shops. The culture would lose anything in case such artists cease to exist. It would be otherwise. Have a look. In case somebody welcomes me, am I to pay him for that? Not, of course, and that’s so in spite of the fact that the welcome that was received by me have made my day. Unfortunately, the defenders of the copy rights threaten to make Hi the market good too. That would be the end, but there is no need to fear – 1000petals guards our smile. Thank you, dear axinia
Thank you, Tomas and Leo for very valuble insights. Yes, the question in not an easy one, but I do believe it will develop itself harmoniously.
Just to make my points a bit more clear (and also to oppose the saying that ” nature is capitalist, it always saves something, always only for some time and in a limited amount.”) – please see my other post on Generosity:

Dear Axinia,
There was something about my blogs that was bothering me. Now I have decided to fix it. Despite the fact that I mostly used the pictures and videos of others (I rarely posted pictures taken by me), I tried to protect my articles by copyright
Now, I have decided to COPYLEFT everything on my blogs! 
Your post has also inspired me. I’m not doing it because I hate the filthy concept of “free market capitalism” 
but because I want as many people to read what I write, even if it means that it appears as if someone else has written it on his/her own blog. Afterall, it is about thoughts and ideas, so it does not matter whether people know the author or not – in any case, I will never reveal my complete identity on the blogosphere 
Yes, it is about spreading ideas and thoughts, so why should I “protect” them when I want to spread them? Thanks for your inspiration 
wow, Raj, what a metamorphosis!
This in an interesting discussion on copyrights. I think the concept should exist. For example, a wonderful photograph taken by someone is put on the internet, and if someone else takes it away and sells it without the knowledge of the owner, there is a dis-advantageous situation, for the owner.
But if people just want to use it without making money, then it could be done with citation to the original source.
But having no copyrights also has its advantages. The commercial “Capitalistic” world has taken very good advantages of that concept too….
One quote that I am reminded of : “Knowledge is one thing that grows when it is shared” As no one has unlimited knowledge, it is good to openly share what one knows so as to educate the listener and also learn more about the topic,

Hi Axinia,
Lovely picture!! “the red waters means the “blood” which is the base of all today`s riches” — This is what i exactly felt when i first saw the picture without reading the content. Then i was happy to note that i felt the same way as you did!!! But with slight changes in the other things.
I felt that the pink sky symbolizes the Sahasrara in the Kingdom of GOD and the black mountains the illusionary world obstructing the human beings (Personified by the bloody water) to enter the Kingdom of Love. How zzat?
Wonderful photograph!! Where is that? Austria or Russia
Beautiful new picture of yours too!!
Sailaja, thank you, what a wonderful description of a picure…
The photo is taken in Austria, river Danube.
and thanks for the compliment to my new avatar picture – it was taken by my father after I came back from India (I think that is what makes it truly attractive, the spirituality shining through, as i was full of vibtaions that time
.
Yes Truely!! Your spirituality and the plain heart full of love andcompassion makes you vibrate with beauty!!!
Even your articles are full of vibrations and my whole body is so cool with a very cool breeze emitting from the top of the head, while reading them.
Any plans of going to India for Christmas?
wow, what a compliment, sis!
Christmas in India will do work out this time, hope for the next March…
If someone else is benefiting from your words and photos, and you aren’t…well I don’t understand why you would let that person steal. You should be reimbursed for whatever he has made off of your content. He is doing this to hundreds of people who don’t all “Allow” their content to be “freely” used. We work hard, and I am sorry you think that hard workers don’t deserve credit. Why should someone steal it? Give me a break!
you are the next to Paulo Coelho’s blog!

Good day, Axinia. This is Igor, Russia. Thank you for the joy that felt when reading and seeing the site. I hope you (and this site’s visitors) don’t mind my writing in Russian
Добрый день, Аксинья. Это Игорь Гулик из Новокузнецка. С удовольствием познакомился с вашим сайтом. Очень понравились ваши слова об авторском праве. Еще больше радости было, когда узнал и почувствовал, что вы – сахаджа йог. Спасибо за ваши фотографии, искренние слова. Успехов! И еще – передавайте привет сахаджа йогам Австрии.
