    I say this over and over here. Copyright for corporations is done and over. Its time that America goes back to its roots and abolish corporations that don't serve the public good.

    If we stood together and told the government that we no longer recognize copyrights they would go away. The idea that I cannot copy something is ridiculous. If you have the means, then copy away. Giving power to governments and corporations to tell us what we can do with technology is a very bad idea.

    This is a battle that must be won, and the people must have free reign to copy and manipulate data anyway they want to. I am OK with giving recognition to someone who creates, but that is all.
