From the article,
"...when copyright was a private agreement among publishers, designed to retain monopolies, act as censors and generally control the publishing market. It certainly wasn't about protecting creators, who had nothing to do with it."
That pretty much sums up what copyright was, and again is, about. Those that think it has anything to do with protecting or promoting intellectual creation should stay away from anyone with a bridge to sell.
Thanks. Good article.
