Forgive me, I'm new here, so I don't know your posting history well enough understand what it is you're going on about. I mean, you sound like someone I might agree with, but whatever it may be is buried under the kind of ravings uttered by hippie homeless men in downtown Santa Cruz.

Well, everything you write or post on the net is copyrighted by you. And yes the function of the network is to copy and transmit information. How is this reconciled? How does Google get away with copying the entire network and retransmitting it for us? It is in the public's interest for them to do so, just as it might be in the public's interest for all information to be freely shared.
Once we went digital there was no turning back. You might laugh at the notion admonished by some that "Information wants to be free" but this is indeed the case, why does information want to be free? So that it may infect a new host with its knowledge. The word is a virus, as are we all.
