I'll put you down as being in favor of eternal copyright, then. "The Congress shall have the 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;" (Emphasis added.) What a tragedy that the value of all works published before 1926 has been irrevocably lost because we're not protecting them anymore. -- G. Branden Robinson | "There is no gravity in space."
