Hey, I have no issue with the concept of copyright.
What I object to is how the powerful copyright holders (such as Disney) have gotten Congress to lock up copyright forever.
If copyright reverted to its original intent (limited exclusivity) then you'd get a lot less criticism from me. A patent (another form of creative expression) is good for 20 years. But copyright, nearly forever.
