A short life for copyrights and patents doesn't seem fair to me. If I build a house, I own it for life, and can pass it on to my heirs. But if I build a novel, song or widget, the public gets to use it for free after a while. I understand the argument for passing knowledge into the public domain, but still... We have a lot of knowledge workers here. How do you guys feel about it? ------------------------ Yahoo!
