i cant speek for almightygod (who has, infact, spoken for himself in anycase, but im just being clear) but IP rights in the us, and over here, are redcluses
the us establishs copyright for the commen good etc etc etc. however, the big media componys are pushing for an eternal copyright. every time it comes close to term, they ask for anther 20 years, and get it. copy right stands at something like 95 or 105 years. disney, a componey whos stolen every out of copyright book in history, has no right to harp on about this, but does. further more, alot of good can be done when something becomes public domaine. electronic music sampling is a good example. from (currently copyright, but rarely protected) works, alot of new work is created. in pertculer, look at the ahmen break.
its the most sampled peace of music in the world. its importent too alot of music. and if it was protected then alot of that music would have been lost. and its good music. just like cindrella is a good film. but if copyright goes on for perpetuty then creativity will be stiffled. and if diseny, sony et al have there way, thats exaxtly what will happen
this isnt defending pricacy, or attacking it, but ip laws are pritty messed up.
oh I'm not going to argue that copyright isn't exploited and hasn't gotten out of hand, it has.
However Metallica wants to protect whole songs of theirs from being taken without payment, songs that at least at the time of Napster were still relatively new. I can't say I blame them...
