Should Record Companies Own Copyrights?. A long standing method for dealing with monopolistic, threatening, and racketeering businesses has been to ban certain companies from participating in vertical market integration. To combat the increasingly visible corruption and racketeering in the music industry, we should look to restructuring the industry similar to how the railroad industry was restructuring under FDR. I argue record companies should not own copyrights. [kuro5hin.org]

Interesting take on copyrights over on Kuro5hin. Not saying I agree, just that it spurs though on my part.
