  "Piracy really is not the bigger issue for our company or for our library," Lang said. "It's been a lack of exploitation, just not getting it out there."
  
  I think he said that exactly, actually....

  Re: So make copyright non-transferrable.

  You know, this is something that gets discussed just about every day. If you bothered to read, you'd know that, Mr Troll.

  Justifying your actions by claiming that it creates good will or promotes the music does not negate the damage done.
  
  Can you provide proof of harm, yet? No one has yet provided solid evidence of harm.

  Re: Re: Re:

  You do realize that people go to college to become chirpractors, too, right? And yet the efficacy of the care they provide hasn't been proven, either. So, Peabrain, the mere existence of a practice does not prove the practice. Next time try to at least utilize a tiny portion of the shriveled mass you describe as a 'brain' to do some critical thinking instead of off-the-cuff attacks and worthless 'rebuttals.'

  The difference is that they are not giving the authors any rights. The authors are long dead, and unable to exercise those rights. They are giving rights to corporations and middlemen.

  Ahh. I see you don't understand what this is about at all. Maybe if you went back and read it, you might start to comprehend just how nonsensical your comment was.

  Re: [Copyright] "regulates commercial, intent-to-profit activity only"

  Yep, because we all know this happened with the tape recorder and the VCR. My shelves overflow with 'copied' movies on VHS tape. Why, just the other day I traded a VHS copy of Ewoks: The Battle for Endor for an original VHS copied copy of Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Man, what a bargain! You know they stopped making movies entirely back in 1985, right?

  Re: Re: Re:

  The 20 year limits have little to nothing to do about changing the impact of infringement. It is more to release works into the public domain so they might influence the next big wave of culture. What was the last big thing? What influenced it?

  I can describe my 'enjoyment' of the entertainment industry with three words:
  
  Thin Red Line.
  
  Worst pile of crap EVER. Sita Sings the Blues at least had a story and substance. Just because you don't value it doesn't mean that others do not. All entertainment and art is subjective.

  Yes, this is a repost. Read the damn blog before vilifying the material within.

  Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Amounts admitted in court under oath and you still refuse to believe?

  That does not strike me as the same model as that of the pirates.
  
  Of course they don't have the same model as the pirates. No one ever said they were.
  
  Bringing up the legality of pirating doesn't even change the discussion, so why bother?
