The Copyright Fuss Revisited

Posted by michael on from the apartment-will-clean-itself dept.

mpawlo writes "I was going to clean up my apartement, but instead I wrote a piece for Greplaw introducing a framework for the debate on how we should obtain a balance between users and authors where the author has good incentives to innovate, but where society at large is not too restricted due to the author's previous innovations. I am afraid that I personally have few practical solutions to introduce, but you might find my text useful as a quick introduction to what the copyright fuss is all about and why you should care."

    I widened the page.

    I also added the 30+ minutes of footage to "The Fellowship Of the Ring."

    I added the half-hour or so of gratuitous "Enterprise circling" in the director's cut of "Star Trek."

    When Oliver Stone made "JFK," I talked him into having Jim Garrison repeat "back, and to the left" seven times.

    The Simpsons writers had planned for Sideshow Bob to walk into only three rakes. I insisted upon nine.

    My purpose in life is to EXTEND, EXTEND, EXTEND...to waste your time, and to compensate for obvious Freudian "shortcomings."

    I AM THE TROLL KING!!!
