Yep, copyright is one of many examples of government regulation that is needed for markets to work fairly.
I dunnp. I'm far from convinced that anything like copyright is needed "for markets to work fairly". To work the way we're used to, perhaps, but I think it's a bit of a stretch to claim that the only fair way is that one. There were markets before there was copyright, after all. (Very different ones, yes, but different is not necessarily unfair.)
The problem nowadays is that copyright law has been perverted beyond its original scope by vested interests.
Well, that's one of the obvious symptoms. Whether you consider that "the problem" depends on which pieces you prefer to call problems (as opposed to secondary effects caused by problems). /~\ The ASCII der Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML mouse () rodents montreal qc ca / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
