IP-magine 2.0.0.8

An IParody of John Lennon's Imagine song, by Alexandre Oliva, without a tribute to Yoko Ono Lennon, Sean Ono Lennon, Julian Lennon and EMI Blackwood Music, Inc.

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
