NYT.  So, the Supremes upheld that a Congress (that was bought off by monied copyright holders) can extend copyrights forever.  This is a classic Pareto problem of rentiers using the legal system to ensure their future revenue streams.   What they can't earn by creating they earn through changes in the law.  The end result of this type of power grab is a static and uncreative society.  Of course, the end result may be different.  New technology is the wild card in the revolution against the rentiers.  Rip, mix, burn, share.

I don't know if you have to have housemates spend their days in government school buildings in order to get virulent germs in your home. For instance, we don't live very far from John Robb, so what we've got in our house is probably that same stomach flu that he's got in his house. But our kids are home-schooled. And I work from home. Maybe it's from walking the dog. :-) Which I've got to do right now. And maybe take something for my stomach. :-) 11:28:09 AM     Comments
