In my view, the protection of intellectual property is usually an obsession of corporations rather than individuals.<BR/><BR/>StuartStuarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12191804632194410500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5471452.post-1113535714626269652005-04-15T04:28:00.000+01:002005-04-15T04:28:00.000+01:00Hi Stuart,"This is about large corporations protec...Hi Stuart,<BR/><BR/>"This is about large corporations protecting what they see as their property." I couldn't agree with this sentiment more. Especially when it comes to issues like public performance. Imagine if Beethoven's works were not public domain, and students and artists could not perform the work on the level they are presently performed. Beethoven's bigger now than he ever was, thanks to the public domain and the wide variety of people performing his work. Aspiring artists benefit from a diverse and well-stocked public domain. It enriches the aesthetic experience and provides inspiration en masse.<BR/><BR/>Short run profits. That's what it boils down to. How depressing. --JBAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
