said by SRFireside  : Copyright law is all about making sure artists are compensated for when you make money off of their work. said by US Constitution, Article 1, Sect. 8 :
The Congress shall have Power ... To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries; It's clear (to me) from this passage that the goal here is a widespread social benefit, and not to focus on a property right for producers of the useful Arts.

Once apon a time, in a galaxy far far away....
In the long term, authors' intents and interests have always been secondary to that of the public.
Now it's been corrupted and co-opted by the large "Entertainment" Corporations. |

Steve — big fan of internet radio Yes. Part of doing that is making sure artist's can make a decent living so they can continue to contribute their works to society. Copyright law was put in place to make sure artists aren't being exploited. You think it's bad now with the record industry. You should have seen it before copyright law. The RIAA is like a rabid poodle compared to the bloodthirsty and savage animals they were before. |

said by Jehu :I'd rather have congress stay the hell out of telling businesses what those busninesses can and can't charge for their services. But isn't the government, through the copyright board, already doing just that anyway? |
