Moral? You know, for something that's only been around for 300 years, I find the moral concept of copyright real difficult to swallow. Practical, yes, but moral? I just wish the US Founding Father had been willing to lock 14 years with an extension, in the Constitution itself (they came close) instead of letting every big corporation buy extensions whenever they might have some "property"
(and it isn't property) get released into the public domain.
As to laws, there have been laws created in various places that have ranged from unmitigatingly evil to unbelievably stupid, and often conflicting. And I'm supposed to play Twister to try and follow them....
