> If you wanted to create evidence for the argument that investment capitalism is essentially parasitic, the whole 'higher education' program we've got in the USA could well be Exhibit A Copyright law itself is a prime example of how allowing greed to go unchecked is hurting us all. It started out as a great idea, but it's been perverted into something that does the literal opposite of what it was put in place to accomplish. Copyright law today hurts creators, and impedes innovation and the creation of new creative works while heavily and increasingly restricting the public's access to existing works. Sadly our politicians are even less willing to reform copyright law than they are to place limits on the greed that's allowed to hurt us collectively in the higher education system. At least students today are getting ineffectual lip service about student loan forgiveness.
