In a philosophical way, I'm frustrated about these conversations not really talking about the root issues. Is money the most important, and even only important, consideration when thinking about copyrights? Will anything change so long as we have political systems that make political contributions a legal form of bribery for directing the passage of laws? To me, current trends in copyrights are canaries in the coalmine showing the erosion of law-making for the greater good.
Here in Canada, the length of copyright terms is going up due to pressure from the American government, under the direction of large corporations. That's just disappointing in so many ways.
