No and not all fish are sharks, but sharks are fish.
But the particular law of copyright, imposes more costs than benefits and should be abolished.
That is your contention, it is not a fact.
Yes, and I am defending that contention.
Easy as that, eh? Just pass a few privacy laws... they never impinge on the freedom of people and their right to access certain information, do they?
No but it is off topic, in that copyright is not a good tool for privacy etc.
Whose freedom? Not Martin Belam's freedom to protect his work from unauthorised copying obviously.
Martin Belam's Freedoms should not impose on freedoms of others, where that happens we have social conventions, laws, judges etc.
I just think copyright is a bad law and we should review (abolish) it. - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group. To unsubscribe, please visit http://backstage.bbc.co.uk/archives/2005/01/mailing_list.html. Unofficial list archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/
