Dear Colleague:

Happy May day. Intellectual workers of the wor= ld unite!

The sense in which I broadly address you as a colleague is based on the particular aspect of our professions=E2=80=99 relationship to patents and copyright (Intellectual Property =E2=80=93 IP). I am a software and internet engineer.

In a = way, you and I are both =E2=80=9CIntellectual Workers=E2=80=9D. Our professions =E2=80=93 be it: software, engineering, teaching, research, arts, journalism, medicine, pharmacy, plant biology, etc. =E2=80=93 all involve production or propagation of Intellectual Property. As a medical doctor, when you prescribe patented medications, you are propagating patents. As a software engineer working for the likes of Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Facebook, etc when you write code, you are producing copyrighted opaque, restricted and proprietary software a= nd internet services.

Hence, the way that the patent and copyright syste= ms operate impact our professions. The purpose of this communication with you is in the context of each of our profession=E2=80=99s responsibility towards health o= f the society and the responsibilities of each of us towards our profession.

<= p>This responsibilities oriented model is distinct and different from the generally economic American model. If you do not believe in the notion of the responsibilities that I mentioned, then contents of this email are likely not of interest to you.

The notion of Intellectual P= roperty is a fundamental and colossal mistake. The Western Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) regime=20 directly and indirectly impacts autonomy and privacy of the=20 individual and health of society. The IPR model has unleashed certain dynamics that result in=20 us seeing more deterioration of more aspects of our=20 autonomy and privacy every day. These dynamics are complex and include further empowerment of corporations and the corporate model, leading to Corpocracy. IPR regime has put humanity in danger. But, this is not commonly well understood.

The debate on validity of Intellectual Property can now b= e closed. I have came up with a model that can be used to prove that copyright and patent laws are invalid as any form of personal property. The proof that I offer is rooted purely in nature and logic. It stands completely outside of particular human belief systems and societal consensus. Therefore, the proof for invalidity of the Western IP regime is not limited to its context within any particular society. Western IP is universally invalid.

I am presenting my though= ts in a document titled:

The Nature of Poly-Existentials:
Basis for Abolishment of The Western Inte= llectual Property Rights Regime
http://mohsen.1.b= anan.byname.net/PLPC/120033 =E2=80=94 [8]

The scope of this document is most of what surrounds Intell= ectual Property. The full document is about 200 pages. The pdf format is available for both US paper size and=20 A4 paper size.

There a= re 3 main parts to the document. In the first part, we introduce the concept of poly-existence and based on that prove that IP is invalid. In the second part, we debunk common myth that surrounds the Western IPR regime. In the third part we propose some cures towards eradicating this disease.

I am including the intro= ductory section of the document below. After reviewing this=20 introduction, if you decide to read the full document, I=E2=80=99ll be very= =20 interested in receiving your thoughts and feedback.

At your service,=

1=C2=A0=C2=A0Mono-Existentials, Poly-Exis= tentials And Mixed-Existentials

That which exists in = nature in multiples, we call poly-existentials. That which exists in nature in singular, we call mono-existentials.=20 All material objects exist in singular and are mono-existentials. Ideas, information and knowledge exist in nature in multiples =E2=80=93 not= in singular. Ideas, Information and knowledge are poly-existentials. Much of our world is actually a mixture of mono-existentials and poly-existentials, which we call mixed-existentials.

In this document= we analyze the topic of Intellectual Property (IP) from a new perspective. The topic of monopolistic ownership oriented restriction of poly-existentials and Western=20 Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) are one and the same. Yet, the concept and terminology of poly-existentials has not appeared in prior discussions of this topic. This is the very first time that the concept and the word =E2=80=9Cpoly-existential= s=E2=80=9D are being introduced.

The traditional perspective on Intellectual Pro= perty is that, it is debatable. Some good arguments have been made in its favor and some good arguments have been made opposing it. Some are for it and some are against it. It is perceived to be economically more profitable to be for it, than to be against it. So, in the West,=20 a whole lot more people are in its favor.

The model of poly-existence= makes it easy to prove that the concept of Intellectual Property is erroneous. This proof is based on logic that is rooted in nature of existence and nature of possession and the requirement for ownership to be in harmony with nature of possession and existence. Unlike other writings on this subject, we do not consider this as part of any debate. In this document we prove that the basic concepts of Intellectual Property are invalid.

The IPR regime is about extending the model and concept of ownership of mono-existentials to the realm of poly-existentials by creating artificial scarcity. This is against the nature of poly-existence.

Ownership of poly-existentials impacts the= ir manner-of-existence towards being monopolistically controlled and towards becoming internally opaque. Monopolistic oriented restriction of poly-existentials has ramifications on autonomy and privacy of the individual and health of societies. Natural dynamics of Western IP restrictions result in reduced autonomy and privacy of the individual and result in transfer of more power to corporations and Corpocracy. Any digital ecosystem that is rooted in Western IPR puts humanity in danger. A moral alternative to the American proprietary digital ecosystem (Internet as we know it today) is called for.

The first part of this document is concerned wi= th ontology of poly-existentials. We construct the =E2=80=9CPoly-Existentials Reference Model=E2=80=9D in order to analyze the nature of what IP restricts. Poly-existentials are naturally un-scarce and naturally multi-possessable and naturally un-territorial. Therefore poly-existentials are unownable. Western IP regime is about ownership (monopolistic restriction) of poly-existentials. The concept of poly-existence through the poly-existentials reference model makes the fraudulence of Western IPR regime clear and obvious.

This first part is also available as a standalone document i= n:

Poly-Existentials Reference Model A Framework For Mapping Of
The Western Intellectual Property Model T= o Poly-Existentials
http://mohsen.1.b= anan.byname.net/PLPC/120068 =E2=80=94 [10]

In the second part of this document, we engage in discredit= ing of the IPR regime through debunking the arguments that have been put forward in its support and we address the false beliefs surrounding Western consensuses. We also put on the table the character of those who originated it and who are pushing it. Westerners are vested in their IPR regime. It is not in their interest to understand the invalidity of IPR. We point out that when a given society gets its fundamental ownership rules wrong, the consequences are severe. When most of the world gets its fundamental ownership rules wrong, the consequences are catastrophic.

This second part is also available as = a standalone document in:

Debunking Myth Of Western Intelectual Prop= erty Rights Regime
Based On The Poly-Existentials Reference = Model
http://mohsen.1.b= anan.byname.net/PLPC/120069 =E2=80=94 [9]

The third part of this document is about solutions and cure= s. We advocate full rejection of the Western IPR regime. We then advance a specific replacement strategy which includes societal and global governance models that require halaal manner-of-existence of poly-existentials. We then propose construction of a complete ethics oriented digital ecosystem which has autonomy and privacy of the individual at its core. We then introduce a starting point for such a digital ecosystem called: The Libre-Halaal ByStar Digital Ecosyste= m. Finally we postulate a set of societal strategies that in theory=20 can cure Eastern societies and do an economic number on=20 Western IPR vulnerabilities.

This document is vast in scope and in am= bition. And, this generally public version is just a beginning which should be considered a draft. The first and second part are complete enough to deserve scrutiny. The third part is incomplete but has enough material to convey its intent and direction. Throughout these three parts, our main goal is to underscore the=20 importance of this topic and to agitate towards further discussions.

2=C2=A0=C2=A0The Nature Of Poly-Existenti= als Makes Them Unownable

A thesis of this document is= that poly-existentials are unownable. Poly-existentials cannot be personal property.

Our analysis revolves = around the relationships among:

Existence
Possession
Ownership

Existence and possession are aspects of nature, but ownership = is a human construct. Ownership, as man made rules, can in theory be anything. In that sense, anything and everything is ownable. We then draw a distinction between =E2=80=9Cproper ownership rules=E2=80=9D and =E2=80=9Ci= mproper ownership rules=E2=80=9D. We consider proper ownership rules as those which are in harmony with existence and possession aspects of nature and which result in enduring amelioration of society and humanity. An acknowledged recent Western improper ownership rule is Americans=E2=80=99=20 ownership rules for Africans as slaves. Existence of humans as equals makes= them unownable. It is in this context that we consider poly-existentials as ownable or unownable.

To a certain extent, each society=E2=80=99s = ownership rules reflect that society=E2=80=99s values and character. Intellectual Property as ownership rules represents the American and Western model for governance of poly-existentials. Since for Americans, IP is directly sourced from the U.S. Constitution and since analysis of ownership involves both the governed (poly-existentials) and the governor, the American character is on the table. We therefore need to fully consider it within our scope to analyze and understand why these people (Americans) have come up with these ownership rules (IP).

Ownership rules exisit to resolve conflicts and= to improve order in society. Main ownability requirements are the following:

Exclusive Possession =E2=80=93 What is to be owned must be possessable by only one possessor at any given time.
Scarcity =E2=80=93 What is plentiful need n= ot be owned.
Territoriality =E2=80=93 Assignment of owne= rship in a given place should not impact=20 other ownerships in other places.
Harmony w= ith existence of the owned.

The nature of poly-existentials vi= olates these requirements:

Poly-existentials (e.g., ideas, formulas, knowledge) can be possessed by multiple possessors at the same time.
Each poly-existential can easily be copied = and can therefore be plentiful. Each poly-existential is not scarce.
Each poly-existential can exist in multiple= places at the sametime. Each poly-existential can be possessed by multiple possessors in different = places at the same time. Poly-existentials are non-territorial.

Poly-existentials are therfore unownable.

Western Intell= ectual Property Rights regime=20 is an umbrella misnomer to cover the following branches of US and Western laws:

copyright
patent
trademark

Copyright, patent and trademark provide for ownership oriented monopolistic restrictions of poly-existentials. Each of these branches of Western law directly map to different forms of monopolistic restriction and ownership of different aspects of certain types of poly-existentials.

Since poly-existentials are unownable; copyrigh= t, patent and trademark laws as individual branches of law and collectively as Intellectual Property Rights regime are therefore invalid.

Ramifications of incorr= ect ownership laws can put societies and humanity at risk.

The context of mono-existence is inherently local. The context of poly-existence is inherently un-territorial, global and univ= ersal.

3=C2=A0=C2=A0This Document is in Globish<= /h2>
This document is in Globish. It is not in conventiona= l Anglo-American English.
See the document titled =E2= =80=9CIntroducing Globish into Globish=E2=80=9D [4= ] for a description of Globish. That document also includes references to other spe= cific words and concepts relevant to this document. Briefly, Globish (mixture of Glob-al and Engl-ish) is the language that a C= hinese may use to communicate with a Brazilian.
The intended audience= for this document is all of humanity.
Some of the concepts developed= in this document stand separate from American and Western values. Some of these concepts specifically reject American and Western val= ues. Western readers need to pay extra attention, as many of their assumptions are likely not ours.
So-called Intellectual Property Righ= ts (patent, copyright and trademark laws) are fundamentally Western concepts. They are primarily rooted in the American, = English, French and European cultures. Much of our audience has not had these beliefs and should not permit these corrupt beliefs to enter their cultures. That segment of our audience that has patent and copyright traditions in their culture and their belief system need to recognize that these beliefs are by no means universal.

4=C2=A0=C2=A0Relevant Globish Vocabulary<= /h2>
Intellectual Property Rights regime is a set of socie= tal rules. IPR regime is a Western construct. The concepts and vocabulary of IPR are Western and are targeted towards justification, protections, promotion and propagation of the Western IPR re= gime.
The basis of analysis of this document is Eastern. Many of the concepts that we use to invalidate Western IPR regime are not rooted in Anglo-American English. Through out this docum= ent, there are also a number of important words and concepts that we use in their Globish sense and not in the Anglo-American English (W= estern) sense.
The concepts behind these words, to a large extent, have direc= ted our analysis and as such are key to understanding this document. Recognizing the specific contexts for our use of these words is essential for understanding our exposition. Here we provide a short list of some of the key words and concepts that are essential for=20 our exposition.
Libre:

Libre is a substitute for the word free in English which distinguishes the freedom sense from the gratis sense. Libre in Globish refers to the sense of freedom in the word =E2=80=9Cfree=E2=80=9D. = The other and dominant sense of the word free is gratis (free of charge). In the context of this document our use of Libre is in the scope of freedom from Western societal restrictions that come as a result of IPR regime=E2=80=99s restrictions. This scoping of Libre is different from FLOSS=E2=80=99s (Free and Libre Open Source Software) scope of the user=E2= =80=99s freedom as it applies to Free Software.
Conviviality Of Tools

By conviviality we refer to the concept of=20 =E2=80=9CTools for Conviviality=E2=80=9D as Ivan Illich introduced it.
In the document titled:
Introducing Convivial Into Globish<= br> http://mohsen.ban= an.1.byname.net/PLPC/120037 =E2=80=94 [1]

we introduce the term "Convivial" into Globish.
Brief= ly, in Illich=E2=80=99s words:
To the degree that an individual masters his tools, he can invest the world with his meaning; to the degree that he is mastered by his tools, the shape of the tool determines his own self-image. Convivial tools are those which give each person who uses them the greatest opportunity to enrich the environment with the fruits of his or her vision. Industrial tools deny this possibility to those who use them and they allow their designers to determine the meaning and expectations of others.
Western IPR model of poly-existentials leads to industriali= ty of tools where the tool maker is more in charge.
The Libre-Halaal model of poly-existentials leads to conviviality of=20 tools where the tool user is more in charge.
We expand on this in the= Section titled =E2=80=9CTools For Conviviality=E2=80=9D.
Halaal = and Haraam
=E2=80=93 =C2=AB=D8=AD= =D9=84=D8=A7=D9=84 =D9=88 =D8=AD=D8=B1=D8=A7=D9=85=C2=BB
In English, halaal and haraam are over simplified Orientalist adoptions that map onto =E2=80=9Cpermitted=E2=80=9D or =E2=80=9Cprohibited= =E2=80=9D and which come with islamophobia negative connotations.
In Globish, philosophical halaal= is =E2=80=9Cmanifestation=E2=80=9D of =E2=80=9Cmoral sensibilities=E2=80=9D relevant to a specific topic where =E2=80=9Cthe set = of actions=E2=80=9D map to =E2=80=9Cright.=E2=80=9D
We use the words ha= laal and haraam as vehicles for expression of ethics and morality as we have formally defined them in:

http://mohsen.1.ba= nan.byname.net/PLPC/120039 =E2=80=94 [3]

A particular focus of this document=20 is to identify halaal and haraam manner-of-existence of poly-existentials. We conclude that the Western IPR regime leads to the haraam manner-of-existence of poly-existentials.
We elaborate on this in a Section titled =E2=80=9C= Proper Governance Of Poly-Existentials: Halaal And HaraamManner Of Poly-Exi= stence=E2=80=9D.
Libre-Halaal

Libre-Halaal is the label that we apply for the halaal manner-of-existence of poly-existentials.=20 A necessary condition for conviviality of poly-existential tools is=20 their Libre-Halaalness.
In a Section titled =E2=80=9CThe Libre-Halaal La= bel=E2=80=9D, we expand on this.
In a Section titled =E2=80=9CIn Search Of The Righ= t Label For Correct Manner-Of-Existence Of Software=E2=80=9D, we describe why Libre-Halaal is superior to =E2=80=9CFree Software=E2=80=9D, =E2=80=9COpen Source=E2=80=9D, and other FLOSS attempts at labeling Halaal manner-of-existence of software (and other poly-existentials).
Ea= st and West

East and West represent labels for spheres of consensus.
Some of the imp= ortant concepts that the Western sphere of consensus focuses on are: supremacy of markets, economics, competition, dominance, exploitation and freedoms of the individual and the corporation and separation of religion from governance.
Some of the i= mportant concepts that the Eastern sphere of consensus focuses on are: supremacy of family and society, social cohesion, societal harmony, ethics, morality and sanctity of speech and the intertwinedness of religion and governance.
The fundamental diff= erence in perspective between East and West is in the context of individual and society. An Eastern Iranian may communicate this to a Western American with the following phrases: =E2=80=9CThe largest societal unit in America is the individual. The smallest societal unit in Iran is the family=E2=80=9D
East and We= st have been engaged in =E2=80=9CModels Wars=E2=80=9D. The West considers its models as universal and has been imposing them on the East. Some Eastern societies have been resisting. Resisting the Western IPR regime is an important battle ground in these Models Wars.
We expand on this in=20 =E2=80=9CIntroduci= ng East and West into Globish=E2=80=9D,=20 [2].
Orientalism

Orientalism is agenda driven definition of Eastern concepts= , customs and characteristics by Westerners aimed at the West=E2=80=99s establishment of difference and superiority for the purpose of exploiting East and Easterners.
Our use of the word =E2=80=9COrientalism=E2=80=9D is in the c= ontext of Edward Saeid=E2=80=99s book titled =E2=80=9COrientalism=E2=80=9D [<= a href=3D"#orientalism">13].
The history of Orientalism has led to a false belief by Westerners that the Western IPR regime is universal.
West-toxication
=E2=80=93 =C2=AB=D8=BA=D8=B1=D8=A8 =D8=B2=D8=AF=DA=AF= =DB=8C=C2=BB
West-toxication is a term that Iranians have created and use to denote pernicious Western influence that is to be rejected.
West-toxication represents the impact of Oriental= ism on some Easterners which has led to their belief that Western model is superior to the Eastern model in almost all respects.
We use the word= west-toxication in the context that Jalaal Al-Ahamad introduced it in his Gharbzadegi book in 1966 [12].
History of West-toxication has le= d some Easterners to believe that the Western IPR regime is universal, because it is Western.
We e= xpand on this in a Section titled =E2=80=9CWestern IPR Regime: An instrumen= t of neo-colonialism=E2=80=9D.
Amer= icanism and Americanists

In English, Americanism is the self-congratulatory celebration of the likes of: free markets, rugged individualism, capitalism, the corporation, free speech, free Facebook friends, the national rifle association, market driven health care and TV advertised prescription drugs.
In Globish, Americanism is the model of self-toxication =C2=AB=D8=AE=D9=88=D8=AF =D8=B2=D8=AF=DA=AF=DB=8C=C2=BB of = economic creatures existing in an industrial context.
The Globish=E2=80=99s Americanism = contrasts against the English=E2=80=99s Americanism in humanity=E2=80=99s context.
We identify americanism as the root of= the Western IPR problem.
We expand on this in a Section titled =E2= =80=9CAmericanism: Root Of The Western IPR Problem=E2=80=9D.
So-Called Western I= PR Regime

In Anglo-American English, =E2=80=9CIntellectual Property Ri= ghts (IPR)=E2=80=9D has become revered and chic terminology which is often portrayed as moral, ethical and universal.
In Globish, we reject all of that. The entirety of what some call =E2=80=9CIntellectual Property Rights=E2=80= =9D is a rigged misnomer. Western copyright and patent artificial laws are not about property or rights or intellectuality.
For this reason we u= sually prefix IPR with =E2=80=9CWestern=E2=80=9D and =E2=80=9Cso-called.=E2= =80=9D
We expand on this in a Section titled =E2=80=9CSo-Called Weste= rn Intellectual Property Rights: A Rigged Misnomer=E2=80=9D.
Understanding of poly-existence plus the above concepts an= d words, very simply and naturally lead to the obvious recognition of fraudulence of= the Western IPR regime. Yet, because it is not in the interest of many to recognize fra= udulence of the Western IPR regime we need to apply more than just logic. Through out this document we further develop the above concepts for those who have difficulty putting aside their interests in favor of logic and reason. Many of the these concepts resonates in the E= ast and are suppressed by the West.
These permit us to change the center of gravi= ty of this topic from individualism and economics to ethics and=20 harmony with nature.

Distribution of this document = is unrestricted. We encourage you to forward it to others.
Many of th= e concepts that we present in this document are non-conventional and perhaps new. This is the very first time that a categorization of the world with the labels of Mono-Existentials and Poly-Existentials is being introduced. And it is the first time that the Western IPR regime is being viewed as a mapping onto restriction of poly-existentials.
As such, some of what is being presented is in= early stages of being understood. This document is evolving and should be considered a draft =E2=80=93 we plan to follow up with further updates and enhancements. Yet, the core concepts have been adequately developed and our conclusions are correct. Therefore, this revision of the document can be envisaged ready for early considerations.
Additio= nally, our analysis has had to be very multi-disciplinary. So we have had to dabbled in chemistry, physics, biology, information theory, computer science, logic, philosophy, ethics, theology, sociology, law and economics. Clearly we are not experts in all o= f these fields.

6=C2=A0=C2=A0Our Motivations And Our Purp= oses For Writing This Document

We are software engine= ers. The Western IPR regime has crippled our profession by prohibiting collaboration and transferring more power to corporate businessmen. This has led to dominance of internally opaque software and internally opaque internet services.=20 Internally opaque software and internally internet services foster a competitive model=20 which stifle engineering collaboration. Internally opaque software and internally opaque internet services in turn lead to deteriorat= ion of individual=E2=80=99s autonomy and privacy.

Our profession, software a= nd internet engineering, has a responsibility to society and we have a responsibility to our profession. It is towards fulfillment of our responsibilities to our profession and our profession=E2=80=99s responsibility to society and human= ity that we have prepared this document.

Because we have been close to wr= iting of software and creation of internet services, we understand the ramifications of the Western IPR regime better than many = others. Dynamics of the Western IPR regime are such that they put society and human= ity at risk.

We have concluded that the Western IPR regime is a colos= sal mistake.

Let=E2=80=99s say that based on solid logic we could dem= onstrate that the bases for establishment of IPR regime is fundamentally wrong and that IPR regime results in serious harm to society and humanity. What impact would that have? Contemporary global mistakes often result in entrenched vested interests.=20 Many powerful people and entities are deeply vested in Western IPR. Such deep economic interests often prevent people=E2=80=99s willingness to hear and f= ollow basic logic.

The Western IPR regime is a sphere of consensus th= at can not be changed based on logic and reason alone. Therefore, the scope and purpose of this document can not be limited to logic and reason alone.

The consequences of the IPR Western ownership= mistake are even more grave than the previous Western ownership mistake =E2=80=93 that of slavery of Africans by Americans based on formal Western laws of ownership of human beings. This time ramifications of the mistake are broader than just America or the West, they put all of humanity in danger.

Ramific= ations and harm of the Western IPR regime are far broader than they are generally understood. Western IPR regime indirectly impacts the=20 individual=E2=80=99s autonomy and privacy and distorts the relationship bet= ween=20 individuals and corporation.

In this document we address much of what= surrounds IPR. Our goal is to open the subject wide towards tangible results.

We introduce the concept of poly-exi= stentials and based on that we evaluate the validity of the Western IPR regime based on logic. Based on that analysis we conclude that all basis for establishment of Western IPR regime are invalid.
It is cle= ar that poly-existentials should not be owned and it is clear that the Western IPR regime should be abolished. But abolishment of IPR regime should not lead to ungoverned poly-existence. Poly-existentials should be regarded as =E2=80=9Cpublic goods=E2=80=9D and as such deserve legal protection because of negative externalities which arise if poly-existentials are not properly governed.
We frame the question of correct governance of poly-existentials in their halaal and haraam manner-of-existence.

We then debun= k common arguments in favor of validity of the Western IPR Regime. We recognize and illustrate that it is not reasonable to expect that Americanists could be awakened. This disease can= not be stopped in the West. Our hope is with the East.
Our focus then shifts towards solutions. We propose a number of abstract cures towards replacing the current Western IPR traditions.

Having confined ourselves with halaal manner-of-existence of software and internet services, we move towards creation of a complete parallel Libre-Halaal=20 digital ecosystem.

which is partially reproduced in a Chapter titled =E2=80=9C= Tangible Cure: The Libre-Halaal ByStar Digital Ecosystem=E2=80=9D. we describe the contours of a cure.

Equi= pped with a tangible initial Libre-Halaal digital ecosystem, we then turn o= ur attention to economics and business.

In a Chapter titled =E2=80=9CGlobal = Poly-Existential And Mixed-Existential Capitalism=E2=80=9D, we analyze and distinguish dynamics of Mono-Existential Capitalism vs Poly-Existential = Capitalism.

In a document titled:

The By* Federation of Autonomous Libre Ser= vices
An Inversion to Proprietary Internet Serv= ices Model
An Open Business Plan
http://www.by-star.net/PLPC= /180014 =E2=80=94 [11]

and also in the web site:

http://www.ned= a.com/strategicVision/businessPlan

we present an Open Busines= s Plan towards making ByStar widespread.

Our ul= timate goal is to influence formulation of national policies and adoption at societal level of halaal manner-of-existence of poly-existentials in general and Libre-Halaal Software and Libre-Halaal Internet Services in particular.

In the Western= context in general and in the American context in particular, in this domain, at best such a goal is academic.

In the E= astern context in general and in the Iranian context in particular, with these understandings, we believe it is possible to move towards governance of poly-existentials based on their halaal manner-of-existence.

To this end, in a Chapter titled =E2=80=9CTheore= tical Eastern Societal Cures=E2=80=9D, we have proposed a set of software and internet services national policies = for Iran that are equally applicable to other Eastern societies.

Each par= t of this document has a particular tone and a specific style. The parts that introduce the concept and terminology of nature of poly-existentials are scholarly, formal, logic based, and persuasion oriented.

The parts that deal with exposure of the Western IPR regime= mistake are by choice inflammatory and aggressive. Our philosophical analysis is that nature of poly-existentials leads to the natural right to copy and the natural right to apply knowledge without any monopoly oriented rest= rictions. This in turn naturally leads to full rejection of the restrictive IPR regime. The context of poly-existentials is inherently universal. It is the responsibility of those who wish to restrict our (humans) natural rights, to make a case for their model. The burden of proof is on them not on us.

A meaningful case for IPR has never been made. So, where appropriate we mock and we ridicule the Western status quo. We frequently toy with the self-absorption and overly individualistic aspects of Western cultures. Logic and persuasion alone are ineffective against the entrenched Western IPR disease. Exposure of the Western IPR regime mistake also involves the clarification that IPR is a Western and mostly American mistake. As such our tone may come across as anti-American and anti-Western. Western readers need to recognize that the intended audience of this document is all of humanity and that the scope of this topic is all of humanity. The nature of this topic is inherently global.

The purpose and scope of t= his document is not limited to analysis of Western IPR disease. We also offer theoretical recipes for cures. The parts of this document that deal with the cure, occasionally go beyond persuasion and are prophetic. The cure part is broken into Western cures and Eastern cures =E2=80=93 each with their own flavor.

Content of this document = reflects our independent thoughts. We have not received any funding for producing this document. We have not written this document in the traditional context of Western IPR where the result of our work are expected to bring economic rewards. We have something to say and we want others to read it and discuss it =E2=80=93 towards the progress of science and useful arts. Verbatim copying of this poly-existential is unrestricted. We believe that the collaborative model is the one which motivates real engineers, real scientists and real artists.

We are law abiding citizens. We und= erscore the corrupt nature of Western IPR regime, but we do not advocate illegal or unauthorized copying in applicable territory. We advocate the abolishment of Western IPR regime. In the mean time, we encourage authors and inventors to subject their work to non-restrictive copyright and no patents or non-restrictive (defensive) patents in applicable territories. We advocate full rejection of the Western IPR regime in territories where they may be under consideration.

The anti-Americanist tone and = our focus on curing Eastern societies is not towards a market oriented agenda. It is reality and logic that has taken us there. In an Appendix titled =E2=80=9CAbout The Author=E2=80=9D,=20 we include our profile for those curious about the tone of this document.

7=C2=A0=C2=A0The Libre-Halaal Manner-Of-E= xistence Of This Document

Not only is this document a= Libre-Halaal poly-existential, but it has been produced, published and distributed by pure Libre-Halaal Software and Libre-Halaal Internet Services. In an Appendix titled =E2=80= =9CColophon=E2=80=9D, we provide a summary of how purely Libre-Halaal convivial tools can produce results that surpass their Proprietary-Haraam competitors.

8=C2=A0=C2=A0You, Your Choices And Your R= esponsibility

Our primary focus in this document is g= overnance of poly-existentials. Therefore, both the governed (poly-existentials) and the governor (economic creatures vs humans) need to be subjects of our analysis. In the context of governorship,=20 throughout this document, in parallel with the model of poly-existence, we draw a clear and explicit distinction between being an economic creature and being a human.

In a sense then, you are part of the gov= ernorship. Governance of poly-existentials by humans for humanity would be distinct and different from governance of poly-existentials by economic creatures for economic creatures. We have a choice. Ownership is a human construct. We are in charge.

Americanism as a model for self-toxicated economic = creature existing in an industrial context has led to the creation of the artificial competition oriented Western Intellectual Property Rights regime. Humanism as a model for humans living in societies leads to the natural collaboration oriented Libre-Halaal poly-existential regime. Americanism vs Humanism lies at the center of the conflict for governance of manner-of-existence of poly-existentials.

Where do you = fit in all of this? Are you a paticipant? Or are you just an observer? Are you an =E2=80=9CIntellectual Worker=E2=80=9D?=20 Do you =E2=80=9Cown=E2=80=9D any patents or copyright? Are you an economic creature or, are you a human? Do you have any responsibilities in these regards?

By an =E2=80=9CInt= ellectual Worker=E2=80=9D, we are referring to those involved in=20 production, organization and propagation of poly-existentials. Professions related to: software, engineering, teaching, research, arts, journalism, medicine, pharmacy, plant biology, etc. =E2=80=93 all involve production or propagation of poly-existentials. As a medical doctor, when you prescribe patented medications, you are propagating patents. As a software engineer working for the likes of Microsoft, when you write code, you are producing copyrighted material. Today, large parts of many societies are intellectual workers. Enlarging of numbers of intellectual workers throughout the world is a=20 clear trend.

It is very convenient for intelectuall workers to assume= the validity of IP and become accomplices. Status quo is often very profitable for intelectuall workers. It may well not be in your economic interest to understand or to advocate that the basic concept of Intellectual Propoerty Rights is wrong.

If you are an intellectual worker, you are= a participant. And if you are not just an economic creature, as a human, you have responsibilities.

Your responsibilities start by being willing to und= erstand =E2=80=93 even when it may not be in your economic interest to understand.

It could well = be the case that you, on your own, can not do much to=20 impact the situation. But, collectively we can.

9=C2=A0=C2=A0Our Invitations To You

The picture that we are drawing in this document is vast = in scope and in ambition. Thus far, the entire formulation and development has been done by a very small team. Much of our work and much of our writing is in its early stages of evolution.

These efforts can on= ly be significant if participation and usage is widespread and if collaborative development involves many. We have created many venues to facilitate collaboration. And now we ask you, to assist us in making this work widespread.

As a first step= , we ask you to review what we have written and give us your critique. If you think our work has merit, we also ask you to help us in spreading the word. Please feel welcome to further distribute this document where appropriate.

We invite you to = assist in the collaborative development of Libre-Halaal Software and Libre-Halaal Internet Services. And we encourage you to avoid use of all Proprietary-Haraam software, and Proprietary-Haraam internet services.

Beyond this important intellect= ual contribution, we also invite you to participate with action as appropriate in the context of your own professional domain and in your own societal context.

Our in= vitation to you spans three aspects of what we present in this document.

9.1=C2=A0=C2=A0Invitations Towards Gl= obal Abolishment Of Western IPR Regime

In the context= of our goal to demonstrate that Western IPR is a mistake, our intended audience is all of humanity.

We believe that af= ter reading this document and based on the understanding of poly-existentials, any independent thinker would conclude that the Western IPR regime should be abolished. However, many are vested in the IPR regime and can not read this document as independent thinkers.

So, we have a battle in our hand. And we ask fo= r your assistance.

Please distribute this document as widely as possi= ble, particularly amongst regulatory entities, legislators and the press within your society.=

9.2=C2=A0=C2=A0Invitations Towards Gl= obal Adoption Of The Likes Of ByStar Libre-Halaal Digital Ecosystem

In a Part titled =E2=80=9CCure: Abolition Of Western IPR Reg= ime=E2=80=9D, replacement for the Western IPR regime. We then say that our initial focus = should be the creation of a Libre-Halaal Digital Ecosystem.

In a Cha= pter titled =E2=80=9CTangible Cure: The Libre-Halaal ByStar Digital Ecosyst= em=E2=80=9D, we then introduce:
The Libre-Halaal ByStar Digital Ecosystem, as a moral and ethical altern= ative to the proprietary American digital ecosystem. An overview of this is also provided in [7], available on-line at:
http://www.by-star.net/PLPC/180016 and also at: http://= www.by-star.net/.

We invite you to participate in propagat= ion of ByStar.

Information for Joining ByStar is provi= ded in Section .

If you are a qualified investor, we invite you to ta= ke a look at our Open Business Plan at http://www.neda.com/strategicVision/businessPlan= .=20 Consider ramifications of participating in something this huge and this pro= per!

9.3=C2=A0=C2=A0Invitations Towards Ea= stern Societal Libre-Halaal Strategies

In a Chapter t= itled =E2=80=9CTheoretical Eastern Societal Cures=E2=80=9D, we say that there is no hope for a societal cure for Western societies and that we should focus on Eastern societies. We then focus on Iran as a case study.

As an Easterner, we inv= ite you to distribute this document widely amongst academics and policy makers of your Eastern societi= es.

As a Muslim, ask the opinion of your source of imitation about=20 halaal manner-of-existence of poly-existentials.

In every possible wa= y reject the current Western IPR regime=20 which has brought us the current Western proprietary-haraam=20 manner-of-existence of poly-existentials.
