Yours is a fascinating question for two main reasons. First, one of the topics of your question-thought as an art medium-that is the most complex art medium imaginable; thought as an art medium would involve creatively combining various kinds of thought images: sensory, emotional, belief, and value perceptions. Mastery of such an art would require great mental discipline which is necessary to be skilled at altering one's various states of mind to create interesting and stimulating states of mind. It would indeed be tempting to tresspass the mind property of the greatest thought artists, and directly experience their stimulating, amusing, delirious, or pleasurable productions.
The second reason for why your question is fascinating is because one of the topics of your question concerns the interconnection between intellectual property and private property. You seem to recognize that it would be difficult for telepaths to keep mental justice.
The mind is private property and there should be no tresspassers. Without the consent of the owner, no one should directly access another's mind. Also, the creative content of the mind is intellectual property. Without the consent of the thought artist, no one should access the thought art. To think the art without the consent of the artist is to actually cognitively experience the art while trespassing the artist's mind, whereas to think ABOUT the art does not necessarily involve actually directly experiencing it, that is, telepathically observing the art. For these reasons, the thought artist who has his/her thought art invalidly accessed would be justified to sue others who without consent think his/her art. But the thought artist would not be justified to sue others who merely think ABOUT his/her thought art.
Say that telepathy is possible and telepaths have the ability to control their telepathy so that they do not by natural necessity have to exercise that ability. It is a problematic situation that a telepathic thought artist can have his/her thought art accessed by another telepathic thinker without permission. First, it would be difficult for the telepathic artist to know about the intellectual and private property violations without also him/herself committing a private property violation. Second, it would be difficult for the telepathic artist to prove that his/her thought art has been invalidly accessed without also him/herself tresspassing the mental property of the initial perpetrator.
It would be easy to allow suspicions and curiousity about what others are thinking to overpower one's sense of mental justice. A telepathic society could be a highly suspicious society in which individuals regularly commit mental private property tresspassing violations against others whom they suspect are tresspassing. Thus, if you can and do use thought as an art medium, be careful to not get paranoid about whether others are thinking EXACTLY what you are thinking.
How will you prove it..
Please don't anally probe me!..
ern no - yes - i dunno -prove i was thinking about it!
There are instances wherein intellectual property is private, but for a case like yours, wherein it is used as art, it is a blurred answer.
Yes, it may be wrong. Big companies depend on their staff's minds, and once other companies steal their idea, they may get sued for that.
But if you're talking about "art" or should I say.. just your own thing.. i mean not exactly a biggie.. then of course not XP. First off, it would be hard to prove in the court and stuff like that. Second.. maybe you were just thinking about the same thing. Coincidences happen :)
If you consider your thought as art, perhaps you should just roll another joint.
Just putting to words what others are thinking
Yes in fact there is law against thinking about thinking other peoples thoughts. The very thought of you entering my mind for one moment never entered my mind!
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh. Je ne comprends pas, mon ami!
got any witnesses.
Now THAT's a case I'd like to see coming up in court!
good luck in court..
you prove you thought of it and then prove I was thinking about it and believe me - I will sooooo pay you. Every last dime!
cant say, but you would make a good lawyer
