Denise Howell @ Between Lawyers, on why copyright needs a collaborative remodel: "The cornerstones of 'thievery' and 'piracy' have been eroded by technology and utility, and by the old fair use standbys of news, commentary, art, education, and science. When your child takes something from a store, you explain why that was wrong and take her back to apologize and return it. When she mods her Xbox so she can back up her games to its hard drive and improve its performance, a similar trip to Redmond is the last thing on your mind. You're too busy considering her prospects and potential."
