My favorite part:
>Copyright Now
>Now with digital data and computer networks, it much easier for us to copy and manipulate information
> Digital technology has changed the effect of copyright law
> Copyright used to be a power that was:
> wielded by authors
> over publishers
> to yield benefits to the public
> Now it’s a power that is:
> wielded by publishers
> to punish the public
> in the name of the authors
> Now the public wants to copy and share — what would a democratic government do?
