I do think the anglo-saxon invention of copyright is weird thing. They got joined at the hip with the Berne Convention in 1886, but in this day and age copyright has become the albatross around our society's collective neck.The idea that a creator has some sort of "moral right" to get paid for every copy made, even when someone else does the work of copying it, is totally alien to me. Of course we all wish we had more money, but there is absolutely no reason to have separate laws for one particular group of people. Everyone else either does work-for-hire or produce some physical product or service that can be sold.</blockquote>
