  Locking up ideas stifles progress

  on That Was Fast: Hollywood Already Browbeat The Republicans Into Retracting Report On Copyright Reform
  Copyright was intended to, as the Constitution states, promote the progress of science and useful arts, by securing for limited times to authors and inventors the exclusive Right to their respective writings and discoveries. The problem is that locking up ideas as property doesn't do that at all. It stifles progress. Besides, all Hollywood and the recording industry make is frivolous entertainment. That bears no resemblance to what was meant by "useful arts". Congress doesn't even consider the copyright clause when lobbyists show up with cash.

  Why should an up and coming industry have to prop up one that is obsolete?
  
  "Multinational corporations, ironically styling themselves champions of free information having stolen it themselves..." Look who's talking
  
  Locking up ideas as property is just as much a form of censorship as suppressing them, and this clown is all for that kind of censorship, just like Hollywood and the recording industry.
