Melancholy Marmosets

http://www.nytimes.com/2004/01/25/magazine/25COPYRIGHT.html?adxnnl=1&adxnnlx=1075223070-k2BEL31HTXd2Ai0VEjI8qQ

The continuing battles relating to copyright have already been recorded in this blog; the article indexed by this URL reviews the degree to which copyright has moved from a limited protector of individuals to a near-permanent protector of corporations. The question is discussed in some detail, with the inevitable negative consequences on creativity and art being clearly laid out.

This is another example where a large amount of people collectively suffer loss which is neither direct nor easily quantifiable, whereas the few who gain do so directly and in large measure. The inbalance which results may have long-term negative consequences even for the 'winners', but by the time this point is reached, there may be no return possible.

To the extent that copyright is now a global phenomenon, this is very grim news indeed.
