[realizing that I am veering OT] Last Thursday I videotaped a talk "Jefferson's Moose in Cyberspace" in NYC. http://www.isoc-ny.org/?p=959 (still editing - soon come) One point made was that the "progress" vs "moral rights" dichotomy in copyright philosophy is so deep that there really is little, if any, prospect of consensus. About 10 days ago I videotaped another one - William Patry, Chief Copyright Counsel at Google - "Moral Panics & Copyright Wars" http://www.isoc-ny.org/?p=990 His theme is that the two points of view are irrelevant, all that's needed is an effective law in the public interest. At the 'Moose' talk one attendee, who I later learned is a criminal court judge was particularly vociferous on the moral right side. I spoke with him afterwards and he volunteered the opinion that the internet itself was not in the public interest and should be shut down forthwith by the governments of the world, since it is they who control the satellites! joly On Mon, Oct 26, 2009 at 6:26 AM, Sven Olaf Kamphuis <sven () cb3rob net> wrote:
omg... "it's morally wrong"..!!1oneoneeleven well.. that's up for discussion and btw, copyright law was created to protect the investment in a book printing press in order to accomodate people to be able to publish their views on things.
