Simpler than that, Intellectual Property is incompatible (and an erosion of) with a capital theory of property rights. Can't visit youtube right now, but the first result if you search for "Stephan Kinsella" gives a great lecture on this subject.

While I am not sure how it works exactly in Europe, "Tax Exempt" in the United States is only an exemption from filing because you are stating up front that you do not intended to produce "profit". There is lots of other paperwork you need to do instead. The only "tax break" is for those making donations to legally recognized "charities".

And as beliefs go I know ASCAP would completely disagree with you. ;)

In communities where there is already motivation to "be all you can be", this new requirement will mean that marginally successful students will not graduate. In less motivated communities it will be a motivator to drop out sooner. If you want to encourage more students to take Algebra II, try convincing them on the merits, not with threats. This plan works on the same flawed logic of price fixing.

As long as people seem to be foaming at the mouth to impose all kinds of "requirements" on people, why not require that all high schools make available the opportunity to meet the states high school graduation requirements, and let them graduate.

Relating to price fixing, minimum wage will always be unlivable, and "high school graduate" will always be "unskilled".
