SUMMARY:Copyright vs. Public
DESCRIPTION:Berne\, Switzerland -  Hauptgebäude\, Second floor\, room
  210\, Hochschulstrasse 4 - Copyright developed in the age of the prin
 ting press\, and was designed to fit with the system of centralized co
 pying imposed by the printing press. But the copyright system does not
  fit well with computer networks\, and only draconian punishments can 
 enforce it.\n\nThe global corporations that profit from copyright are 
 lobbying for draconian punishments\, and to increase their copyright p
 owers\, while suppressing public access to technology. But if we serio
 usly hope to serve the only legitimate purpose of copyright--to promot
 e progress\, for the benefit of the public--then we must make changes 
 in the other direction.
