@spellbanisher Just a quick response for now, I'll read those articles shortly.
But do you not agree with Milton's argument that the eternal and unshackled quest for knowledge is a good reason for the abolishment of copyright?
What I do not believe, what is impossible for me to ever believe is that humanity is so base as to disregard its artists so completely, to neglect to compensate them for their extremely worthwhile contributions to the species.
Artistic expression has thrived before copyright, it thrives under copyright, and it will thrive after copyright.
