I hope someday we as a society can shift from the idea of "ownership" and "creation" to one of "contribution" and "discovery". Is anything really "invented", or rather pulled from the set of "things that can be"? I also believe part of the original intent of original US copyright law was to promote progress by rewarding discoverers' contributions. To be in a state that we are now, where we are actually stunting discovery with ridiculous IP laws, is quite sad. [Edit: Not sure the reason of the downvotes?]
