Re: will everyone concerned about copyright please read this

> Back when Jon Noring moderated this list posts which were exclusively about copyright were politely but firmly "discouraged."

Sounds good to me, too. The messages are getting so big Yahoo's going to start charging us by the pound.

> Now I /do/ think there is an area of appropriate intersection between e-books and copyright. Indeed, I think that e-books specifically and the internet generally will eventually kill copyright as we know it.

I've been wondering about that lately. Seems there's almost no way to prevent piracy as things stand.

>  But as for pure copyright issues I think I've said my peace, and I'm going to defer the remainder to other, better forums.

'Better' forums? Or 'more appropriate' forums? Name some so we can shift the copyright discussions there.

To all:
After all the copyright-related verbiage here of the last few days, I would doubt that anyone here truly holds a different view concerning copyright.

We all have our own right and wrong beliefs and expectations about copyright and I'm sure we'd all receive some surprises if we presented them in a court of law.

I'm also sure that many of us -- perhaps even most of us -- would prefer that massive missives debating copyright intent and law happen somewhere else.
