   @crosbie these days perpetual copyright denies people access to their own culture, driving many to risk infringement, particularly creators

   @crosbie Both term reduction and individual exemption would be good reforms, but could be construed as deckchair rearrangement

   @crosbie I agree exempting private individuals from charges of !copyright infringement would be a good reform as well.

   @crosbie indeed it never occurred to me !copyright *could* be abolished before reading your words. I didn't question copyright 'til recently

   @redi44 perhaps you can explain how !copyright "protects" your for-sale work…I don't think it does⇒ Copyright Fallacy #5 http://ur1.ca/bvojv

   @crosbie !copyright law reform is at best a workaround… since © law varies globally, there is no #onesizefitsall solution (beyond abolition)

   @crosbie agreed that !copyright should not *ever* send kids to jail

   @redi44 That's what I thought too when I first began looking into !copyright a few years ago. Looking with fresh eyes changed my mind.

   @arnebab I confess, I've been quite preoccupied with offline life lately, so I'm unaware of this change in !CC #nc (will have to catch up)

    @arnebab A sole proprietorship that sells an artist's services is very different from a multinational corporation that bullies governments

    @arnebab There are different kinds of companies. Creators often offer services through personal companies because creation is our business…

    @crosbie So long as !copyright propaganda is accepted as "right" & the monopoly is enshrined in international law, real change is difficult

    @crosbie shorter terms are an improvement over the perpetual !copyright terms we appear to be headed toward

    Until !copyright law is abolished, howevr, creators can emancipate ourselved by making use of the !CC licensing workaround

    My thinking is that if we must have !copyright law it s/b for short terms. I've come to agree with @Crosbie that we'd be better off without

    @arnebab ∴ Bill Gates can use my novel as he choses so long as he does not financially profit by it ~ once it is !PD he can do whatever.

    @arnebab !CC Non-commercial is tough one; I think it is a necessary transition for most creators who grew up amidst !copyright propaganda

    @arnebab I'm learning; my first novel is !CC by-nc-sa & after 5 years will dedicate it to !PublicDomain ... next one will by by-sa !SelfPub

    @arnebab Bill Gates ≠ Microsoft. Gates is a human, Microsoft is a corporation ~ an artificial construct no matter what lawmakers say.
