I just stumbled on this quote from an essay I wrote a few years ago. The quote is the sum total of my contribution to libertarian thought.

The page says the text may be copied and used consistent with their permissions. I'm guessing they won't be quoting anything from these precincts on copyright.

Maybe they're thinking of that new WIPO broadcasting right (ptui! wash my mouth out), I mean, privilege that protects a redistribution against 'theft'.

So, even if you grant a liberal license to your own work, a redistributor can still stop you copying from their redistribution of it.

That's only fair isn't it? How else is a poor publisher/broadcaster to make any money if they can't keep on being granted distribution monopolies (or rights as they like to call them)?

Please note, this is a spoof, but it does point to the fact that copyright increasingly "belongs" to corporations and that the users of content are losing their rights to the usage of content.
