The word ‘steal’ was used ironically. If I looked at you, and decided to write myself a law that allows me to monitor your every move and communication, and I charge you for that monitoring through unavoidable taxes, and I keep the accounti

What if the 1995 copy had a few deliberate errors thrown in like spelling mistakes and re worded sentences, and your new copy copied those errors verbatim, then I could say that you copied the 1995 version, which was still under copyright b

It will be inaccessible until it becomes public domain, but the copy that you download from archive.org will be copyright archive.org. You can get the music from somewhere else, if you can, you most likely won’t be able to.

Bullets and missiles are like printer ink. They are consumables. They are subject to the economical laws of supply and demand. Well that’s money changing hands, from one person to the next. I want to know who is getting all that money.

The internet wayback machine is one of the biggest copyright thiefs in my opinion. I hope the proposal considers how that business model works and why it should be immune from prosecution
