Wired has a Story by Karlin Lillington on American copyright laws, and how crazy they have gotten.
The laws are causing the death of culture and the loss of the world\’s intellectual history. Lawrence Lessig says copyright has grown from providing 14 years of protection a century ago to 70 years beyond the creator\’s death, and has become a tool of large corporations eager to indefinitely prolong their control of a market.
The web isn\’t going to kill libraries, the laws are.
