But that's not true, never has been, and in fact is counter to the whole point of copyright law (if it weren't, copyright law wouldn't be needed). If you leave your car in the driveway, with the windows down and award winning the keys in the ignition, and someone drives it away, that's still theft. You're entitled to get the car back, and the other person can go to jail. Not so with copyrighted property. The burden is on the owner of the copyright to defend it. If he doesn't, it goes into the public domain (and it stays there forever). |

Ordinary people began reading the Bible for themselves for the first time, which sparked the Reformation. The SSSCA (along with other measures being put forward by the people who now interdict the flow of information, for reasons of profit rather than religion) is almost certainly unconstitutional, and unlikely to become law. Although the current atmosphere, thanks to the destruction of the WTC, increases submit the odds a bit. My guess is submit that it represents a testing of the waters, to see just what degree of control the market will accept - and also a smokescreen, submit to divert the attention of those most concerned while less dramatic (but more pragmatically effective) measures slide through unnoticed, attached to bills ostensibly for other purposes. That's how things have been done for a long time now. The biggest ally the RIAA and other such information middlemen have, however, is not their influence in government, but the degree to which people on the Internet - precisely the people who ought to know better - are willing to accept what these organizations tell them about copyright law and the ownership of information without looking into it themselves. |
