Woman Sells Her Own Property, Goes to Jail

An "illegal" Mexican immigrant, Adriana Torres-Flores, whose children were born in the U.S., spent several days in an Arkansas jail without food, water and a bathroom, and with a shoe for a pillow. The bailiff forgot about her over the weekend. Her crime? Selling her own property in the form of "pirated" DVDs and CDs. Here is the horrible story.

One of the untold (or too little told) stories about the monopoly formerly known as intellectual property is the assault on liberty (or "civil liberties," for those who think that liberty comes from or is guaranteed by the State) that comes with it.

Fed up with the State already? Here's an intellectual antidote. It's not subtitled "The Libertarian Manifesto" for nothing.

It is really a shame that they ruined that book by putting such a dorky picture on the cover. The Libertarian Movement needs someone with some real balls, like Henry Rollins.
