<p>I read at Groklaw that John Lennon's heirs are part of the conspiracy
that's trying to steal fair use from us all. So I came up with this
<a href="http://www.fsfla.org/ikiwiki/blogs/lxo/pub/IPmagine.en.html">IParody</a>.</p>
<p>So blong...</p>

<blockquote><p>An IParody of John Lennon's Imagine song, by Alexandre Oliva,
<a href="http://www.groklaw.net/article.php?story=20080625231410224">without
a tribute</a> to Yoko Ono Lennon, Sean Ono Lennon, Julian Lennon and
EMI Blackwood Music, Inc.</p></blockquote>
<pre><code>Imagine there's no sharing
It's easy if you try
DRM all 'round us
All bow to copyright
Imagine all these people
Bracing for that day
Imagine some bad patents
It isn't hard to do
Reasons to sue or die for
And no e-freedom too
Imagine all these people
Trying rest in peace
You may say I'm a ripper
But I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world'll be unlike this one
Imagine less IPower
I wonder if you can
No point in greedy EULAs
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all these people
Sharing all the world
You may say I P2Peer
But I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will live as one
