[Upd-discuss] !@! information pirates

[Michael Hart]

[Jon, you might have to forward this to the list for me,
if my new subscribe message doesn't work. . . .]

As for defining who and what pirates and piracy is,
let's not forget just who it is that is pirating
millions of books, movies, records, etc., from the
public domain to get 1% more profit, while stealing
99% of what should have been in the public domain
by the time the first works copyrighted under the
new copyright extensions expire. . .presuming they
are EVER allowed to expire.

These "white collar pirates" will look you right
in the face and tell you they want to make new
copyright laws that NEVER expire. . .NOTHING in
the public domain would suit them just great!!!

"Never Has So Much
Been Taken From So Many
By So Few. . ."and without
hardly so much as a whimper.



Thanks!!!


Nice To Hear From You!
