Wow, you are way off mark. Copyright started in the 18th century at ~15 years from publication (don't remember the exact figure, but that's the ballpark).
I have yet to hear a good argument against a fairly short copyright (like 25 years + extension on registration). And by argument I mean something that's actually based on the intent: "to promote the progress of science and arts".
Our management have been chomping at the bit to get iphones.
I've seen this as well, pretty funny. The iphone (as nice as it is) isn't designed for business use and doesn't have half the business functionality that e.g. Nokia E series or the communicators do. Still, there are managers that absolutely need an iphone -- if company infrastructure is in the way then company infrastructure must be changed.

Yeah, right.
