    G-d, I hope not. It had better take at least two kinds of input (or two kinds of your output). Preferably at least three (if you get sick and need to shout into the great white telephone).

    If the studios are going to get rich off this copyright law, then surely should the owners of the estate? If they are going to fight the little people with this law, then at least let the little people fight back with the same law.

  22. Time for the ObHeinlein.... on RIAA Wants Songwriter Royalty Lowered · · Score: 1

    There has grown up in the minds of certain groups in this country the notion that because a man or a corporation has made a profit out of the public for a number of years , the government and the courts are charged with the duty of guaranteeing such profit in the future, even in the face of changing circumstances and contrary public interest. This strange doctrine is not supported by statute nor common law. Neither individuals nor corporations have any right to come into court and ask that the clock of history be stopped ,or turned back, for their private benefit.
