China Cracks Down On Pirated Teaching Materials?
,----[ Quote ]
| It's unclear how cheaper or even free teaching materials "harm"

The Proceeds of Canada's Blank Media Levy
,----[ Quote ]
| While it's hard to see how this levy could have been much of an
| incentive to most of the musicians who have seen a piece of it,
| it's not hard to see where the real incentive lies. No doubt
| there is a great incentive for those who work for the CPCC as as
| lawyers, consultants, employees, lobbyists and others to try to
| get the Copyright Act amended so as to keep the levy alive by
| extending its reach to iPods, cell phones, and beyond.

Wolfram Alpha Does Not Understand Copyright
,----[ Quote ]
| Copyright, as Wolfram seems not to understand, is a bargain between creators
| and their public. As an incentive to create, the former are given a
| time-limited monopoly by governments. Note that it is not a reward for
| having created: it is an incentive to create again.
