we will have enough trouble agreeing on a copyright policy, let's not make it any broader
(i'm new to this platform, sorry i don't know if i'm doing it right)

Patents and Copyrights may ostensibly be founded on different concepts and motivations, but over time, they have become two parts of one whole, and they are both based on the same time-limited monopoly enforcement model.

There are many differences between patents and copyright, I think we need two different conversations to do both justice.

The problem with a 'short commercial monopoly' is that it's difficult to enforce that shortness. as soon as you give them an inch, this is what happens. now patents and copyrights last over a hundred years AFTER the original creator's death.

Or we go too far with our reforms, lose the masses and then industry idiots are controlling legislation again. I think that keeping an eye on them is good enough and this is more beneficial to the artists.

fair enough. i realize we need to be very gradual, but this does not mean that our intentions need not be clear.

we gain the masses though educating the public, remember the way this country works a small number of dedicated NRA members can affect gun legislation more then the majority of the country for whom it's a minor issue
my point is, it's more effective to have a smaller number of "radicals" then to have a larger number of people who are less dedicated

copyright is fundamentally different from patents, let's just talk about copyright
