Copyright vs Community in the Age of Computer Networks
(di: Richard Stallman, FSF; lingua: en; spazio: teatro)
Copyright developed in the age of the printing press, and was designed to fit
with the system of centralized copying imposed by the printing press. But the
copyright system does not fit well with computer networks, and only draconian
punishments can enforce it. The global corporations that profit from copyright
are lobbying for draconian punishments, and to increase their copyright powers,
while suppressing public access to technology. But if we seriously hope to
serve the only legitimate purpose of copyright--to promote progress, for the
benefit of the public--then what must be done is either to reduce copyright
powers or effectively eliminate them, depending on the kind of work.
Governments must now protect the public's right to copy.
