So, let me get this straight. You think ORG's sole purpose is to abolish copyright (it isn't) and that, somehow, will mean big business will be able to own our ideas? I'm unsure how letting corporations exploit artists for 70 years after their death is in any way liberal. Ceding that much power over our culture to private enterprise seems like more of a far-right idea. You haven't heard of multi-award winning novelist Neil Gaiman? Perhaps you saw two of his popular movies (Coraline and Stardust) or watched his Doctor Who episode? I realise he's not appeared on the X Factor - but he's hardly an up and coming artist trying to be "edgy" or "controversial". I'll let you altavista the others - who knows, you may find some interesting viewpoints. Oh, should I refer to you as Dave or Chris? I don't have any objection to you using multiple identities to comment on my site - but it does make following your "logic" rather difficult.
