what is this piece arguing for? the abolition of copyright, or a revision of fair use law? copyright can be a very useful tool for keeping things free, such as using open source licenses for software and the creative commons licenses for other works. edit: though clearly to be good for free purposes, people need to actually understand copyright. I would say that the rather modern "everyone can create" (or remix) thing, rather than just people with a background in a creative field (which would probably include some education on the topic of copyright) has created a bit of a problem. Some sort of effort to educate the public would be pretty beneficial, in my view (imagine if everyone knew what creative commons was).
