Dude. So I looked at another link from my earlier Google search, and I think
you'll like it.
I found it through
http://www.educause.edu/Resources/ReEstablishingtheFoundingPrinc/151472
and I wasn't sure what to make of it from the abstract:
|This paper illustrates the benefits of copyright's legitimate use
|in promoting a democratic society and then delineates the dramatic
|expansion of the copyright monopoly and its resultant commodization. The
|third part addresses the confrontation between copyright and emerging
|technologies-detailing aggressive efforts to extend copyright protection
|into the digital arena. the final part concludes that the globalizing
|effect of the Internet, supported by a true, democratic copyright,
|should serve to stem the copyright assault.
The link to the paper is actually http://cryptome.org/bauchner.htm
It talks about how the principles of copyright were right and good, but
they've become corrupted by corporate greed.
