@matrix the only way I'd agree with what the person is bitching about it a the fact that copyright terms need to be reduced dramatically. It's been 70 years since the Lord of the Rings was published, and some megacorp will keep profiting from it for another 70 because of a government enforced monopoly. I think we are going to soon see similar problems with music and movies (and eventually video games) because high fidelity audio and video have been around so long that any given artist is going up against the greatest hits of the century at all times.
I figure 15 year copyright terms with a one time 15 year extension you have to apply for is more than enough. Beyond that you're not giving people an incentive to create, you're giving them an incentive to hoard other people's ideas.
