Code Plus Law Is Combining To Reduce

Copyrights Have Not Expired, And Will Not Expire, So Long As Congress Is Free To Be Bought To Extend Them Again.

I Think The Reality Is That Copyright Law Has For A Very Long Time Been A Tiny Little Part Of American Jurisprudence, Far Removed From Traditional First Amendment Jurisprudence, And That Made Sense Before The Internet. Now There Is An Unavoidable Link Between First Amendment Interests And The Scope Of Copyright Law. The Legal System Is Recognizing For The First Time The Extraordinary Expanse Of Copyright Regulation And Its Regulation Of Ordinary Free-speech Activities.

Code Plus Law Is Combining To Reduce Rights Consumers Used To Have.

So Uncritically Do We Accept The Idea Of Property In Ideas That We Don't Even Notice How Monstrous It Is To Deny Ideas To A People Who Are Dying Without Them.

A Free Culture Has Been Our Past, But It Will Only Be Our Future If We Change The Path We Are On Right Now.
