Copyright murder

Here's a wierd thought that came to me yesterday. How about copyrighting murders?

It came to me when I realize that some feared copycat murderers in some form or the other. The idea that kids would also immitate movies and go about doing the wrong deads fictional characters do. What I thought was a funny idea at first, became somewhat interesting afterwards. How about we copyright murders? Movie makers, book writers and actual murderers can copyright their material to make so that they can sue the shit out of anyone who commits the crimes afterwards.

The great part is that if some punk decides to actually copy these things, image having to hear from the original maniac who commited the crime? Better yet, how about we also copyright any sort of crime. We can charge people for the crime they commited plus infriging some copyright laws! The downside is that the first person who commited the crime can get right off of someone copying his work, but how about copyrighting, copycat crimes once the settlements for actually copying the crimes are made? What an idea!

Damn it! I was thinking of killing both John Lennon and JFK this afternoon, but I'm afraid of getting sued!

This seems like the perfect extension of hyper-capitalism in our society. You can commit a crime, go to jail, and get rich doing it all. By the time you're let out on good behavior, you've already got a Ferrari waiting for you!

lol, they always say crime is related to people with less income. What a wonderful way to fix that! Who knows, murder might become an art!
