Maybe a condition of copyright should be that you submit the unrestricted media to Library of Congress, and it gets released upon expiration of copyright.

- JoshTriplett 10y agoNobody would test that version, so it wouldn't work. Submission of complete source code, on the other hand, could help.

But then you might also need the hardware to run it ... Personally I think it should be copyright protection or DRM: the demos doesn't get the DRM stuff to enter the public domain so strictly speaking DRM stuff can't be copyright as the deal of time-limited monopoly is broken by the corps that are using DRM.
- tlrobinson 10y ago> "Personally I think it should be copyright protection or DRM" Yeah, I like that. Sort of like how something can be a trade secret or patented but not both.
