QUESTION: One of the things that bothers me when I hear discussions of copyright is that often they start off with, &ldquo;We want a 180-degree change. We want to do away with any sorts of control.&rdquo; It seems to me that part of what lay under the three categories that were suggested is an acknowledgement that there is some wisdom to copyright. Some of the critics of the way copyright is going now believe that, in fact, it ought to be backed up and function much more like patent and trademarks in terms of its duration. I wonder if our speaker would comment on that as a strategy.
