I came across this just today and I thought some of you might like to read it. 
It seems to be directed towards books but hey...

"The Public Domain is the rule, copyright protection is the exception" 



Victor Hugo quote; 

"The book, in and as a book, belongs to the author, but as a thought, it 
belongs...and I am not overstating...to all humanity. All sentient beings have 
a right to that thought. If one of these two rights (the authors right to the 
book and the people's right to the thoughts) has to be sacrificed, this should 
be, for sure, the rights of the author. This is because the public good is our 
primary concern, and I declare this [as an author], the people's rights come 
before ours".
