Actually it is very +problematic because property isn't a natural right, but one that is produced +by our societies and protected by our states---yeah, individuality isn't the +foundation of rights and laws, but a construction of the self produced society. +So, do I have to mention that property rights isn't as fair as we would want? + +Between publishing and free software we get “publishing with free software.” +What does that implies?

The distinctions +works great between writers and readers, but it doesn't problematize the fact +that publishers are the ones who decide the path of almost all our text-centered +culture. + +In my opinion, that's dangerous at least. So I prefer other tricky distinction. +Big publishers and their mimetic branch---the so called “indie” +publishing---only cares about two things: sells and reputation. They want to +live _well_ and get social recognition from the _good_ books they publish. +If one day the software communities develop some desktop publishing or +typesetting easy-to-use and suitable for all their _professional_ needs, +we would see how “suddenly” publishing industry embraces free software. + +So, why don't we distinguish published works by their funding and sense of +community? If what you publishing has public funding---for your knowledge, +in Mexico practically all publishing has this kind of funding---it would be +fair to release the files and leave hard copies for sell: we already pay for +that. This is a very common argument among supporters of open access in science, +but we can go beyond that. Not matter if the work relies on functionality, +matter of opinion or aesthetics; if is a science paper, a philosophy essay or a +novel and it has public funding, we have pay for the access, come on! + +You can still sell publications and go to Messe Frankfurt, Guadalajara +International Book Fair or Beijing Book Fair: it is just doing business with +the _bare minium_ of social and political awareness. Why do you want more money +from us if we already gave it to you?---and you get almost all the profits, +leaving the authors with just the satisfaction of seeing her work published… + +The sense of community goes here. In a world where one of the main problems is +artificial scarcity---paywalls instead of actual walls---we need to apply +[copyleft](https://www.gnu.org/licenses/copyleft.en.html) or, even better, +[copyfarleft](http://telekommunisten.net/the-telekommunist-manifesto/) licenses +in our published works. They aren't the solution, but they are a support to +maintain the freedom and the access in publishing. + +As it goes, we need free tools but also free works. I already have the tools +but I lack from permission to publish some books that I really like. I don't +want that happen to you with my work.
