There was art before copyright and there will be art after it as well. The rights afforded artists under copyright laws are not natural rights, but were created for the specific purpose. If that purpose is no longer served by these laws then they should be eliminated. It is a federal crime now to take a camera into a movie theater. You can receive jail time for this. When will the insanity stop?

"The rights afforded artists under copyright laws are not natural rights" There are no such thing as "natural rights" - only rights that we as society agree are beneficial. IP rights are no different than the rights for you to own your shoes or your house. They are just social contracts.
