RE: Dispute With Government Could Leave Indie Publisher With Hundreds of Thousands of Dollars In Fines
The problem is that copyright is not to protect me or you. It is to protect the big corporations.
Every time Mikey Moose is about to fall out of copyright, they change the laws so that the protection is longer. So, basically, they are destroying the "fair use" side of copyright.
There can be an argument for government backed intellectual property rights. I do not agree with them, but they are there. However, there is no argument for what The US is doing with copyrights.
The TPP was ALL about copyright enforcement. And if it was agreed to, it becomes supreme law of the land. Underhanded extreme law passing.
