Quoting MJ Ray <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
we have little relevant evidence of how a non-copyright
system would behave,
Other than the entirity of human history prior to the 1700s.
So:
No copyright: The Iliad.
95 Year Copyright: Troy, starring Brad Pitt.
(This logic is fallacious in a number of ways of course, including the
way used
by those pleading for copyright extension.)
Quoting David Berry <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
But equally demanding such radical change without being able to offer
any evidence is hardly convincing.
My copy of "Promises To Keep" arrived this morning so I personally am going to
start digging into the evidence. And I've been downloading reports from
OpenBusiness, IPPR, The British Library and others again which have some
evidence in them.
Dare I say that we should put references for such fact-based resources on the
Wiki? :-)
