Thread Name: The Purpose of Copyright
Subject: RE: 'The Purpose of Copyright'
An article by Jesse Walker has been posted to Reason Online, and can be found at http://www.reason.com/0003/fe.jw.copy.html. He cites a few examples from music, such as the "Oh Pretty Woman" case, to support his thesis (I think it's his thesis, but if it isn't it should be) that copyright had become too long in duration and to restrictive in scope.
