Rants, Raves, and Rhetoric v4

Distribution Under Copyright Laws

Another skirmish in the fight to control the information people use to make life-changing financial decisions about us.

Hmmmmm… guess I got the copyright laws wrong. Could have sworn the law was that it is illegal to distribute copyrighted material. You could possess it or obtain it, just not distribute without permission.

  • 6/30/2003 10:27 AM by OEnone: copywrite laws are very weird, with every printed thing.  I know there is a lot of weird twists in the copywrites of music, and printed or otherwise documented music.  *shrug*  Someone got paid the big bucks to make those laws turn like that..*LOL*
