Copyright is an artificial institution created so that in the end we all get to enjoy the work for free, just as it would be if copyright did not exist at all. It doesn't cost the author anything to enjoy the benefits of copy protection. The taxpayers cover all of that. If the taxpayers never get their reward why should they enforce copyright at all? My tax dollars are paying to protect things which the way the law is currently written I will never get to enjoy unless I want to pay for those things again. That's not fair. -- Tracy R Reed http://ultraviolet.org -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
