<<No matter how much a few of us enjoy it, I'm afraid Cathy's "revolution" may be a quirky lace that fewer and fewer people bother with.>>
It is too bad that there doesn't seem to be some way that Cathy could make her book available as an internet download, or self-publish via the one at a time publishing facilities that have been discussed so that she could earn some money for her intellectual property. Has anybody talked to her about this? If she doesn't want to bother with it, perhaps she wouldn't mind if someone like Robin photocopied the book for classes and sent her some small per copy fee. The purpose of the copy right law, in the US, at least, is to encourage the development of intellectual property to benefit everyone by giving the creator a short time monopoly on it so that there is a financial incentive to create intellectual property. It is a shame when the impact is the creation of intellectual property that is then withheld from all those who would like to have access to it. This is the exact opposite of the purpose of the US copyright law. Devon PS. I know a folk singer who actually puts on his music that he knows that people are going to play his music, sing it and share the recordings at folk gatherings, and if someone records the song he doesn't mind, but suggests that they send him $2 and gives his address. I think it is a nice solution to the situation where everyone wants to do the right thing. - To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [email protected].
