Thank you for the clarification and expansion of the description of its transformation of the law. Copyright was a "right" - I wonder how many people even notice the spelling.
A handshake. A reward for creation, limited to guarantee quick addition of the creation to human progress.
Now through bribes and control of legislatures by money, it is applied as a weapon, with generations of control given to "rights purchasers" not content creators.
@kevinrns @alcinnz @feike Oh, yeah, that's another thing I dislike about copyright, that while the US constitution says "…securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors…", what happens now is that corporations end up owning the copyright rather than the authors and inventors — again, defeating the purpose of its existence.
