No need to "give [your] right arm for a rational discussion" on copyright. Just get involved in one of the many CopyrightX discussion groups that are all based on Harvard Law School's CopyrightX course at http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/people/tfisher/CopyrightX_Homepage_2013.htm http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/people/tfisher/CopyrightX_Homep... Last night there was a live webcast of a superb rational discussion on copyright involving several experts. Recording will be up soon, and I'll post it when available. Perhaps also consider following the StackExchange.com community proposal for same at http://area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/51342/copyrightx?referrer=eTg5F3mNkg7w0qmiBIb3Zg2 http://area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/51342/copyrightx?r... Also, in case anyone here is not yet aware of this, the US Register of Copyrights testified before congress last month about how desperately US copyright legislation needs radical reform: "...if one needs an army of lawyers to understand the basic precepts of the law, then it is time for a new law. " and other very strong statements. http://www.copyright.gov/regstat/2013/regstat03202013.html http://www.copyright.gov/regstat/2013/regstat03202013.html For more details, see http://copyrightx.org/ http://copyrightx.org/ and https://copyrightactof1790.wordpress.com/about/ https://copyrightactof1790.wordpress.com/about/
