This evening, I went to hear Richard Stallman speak about copyright. He made two really excellent points: 1) enforcement of copyright law preventing individuals from sharing copies with other individuals can only be done in the context of a police state; and 2) the current copyright system serves only the interests of the big media companies, and not the artists. I'm not as sure as he is that I know what the proper solution is to our current copyright problem, but he has the problem diagnosed pretty dead-on.
