Big Media does not need protection by Government. It needs to be dismantled so that individual rights are restored to pre-1980 standards. Our current laws stifle creativity and free expression. Much of the material being "pirated" would have been considered in the public domain prior to 1980. <br /><br />I believe only individuals ought to be authorized to own intellectual property. In cases where a group of people need copyrights protected, trusts should be created to manage those rights on a case-by-case basis.David Lloydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01765301393412490685noreply@blogger.com
