Not at all. I'm agreeing with you. If we are to preserve the intent of rights and copyright in particular then something very different must happen given the new technology. You're right there may be no answer, I certainly don't know what it is nor do I claim to know. This may just be one of those lull points of civilization like the dark ages ..... wouldn't that be something given the advanced technology we've created. Technology and no humanity.
