Traumwind - Lessing Copyrights should be limited "to Authors"

We believe it is right for the law to protect "Authors." But corporations are not "Authors." We believe it is right for the law to ban knock-off pirates. But transformative work is not "piracy." And we believe it is right to grant a copyright for "limited times." But a term lasting more than a century is not a "limited time[]."

If you'd like some insight into this 'copyright for authors' you might read this entry on Neil Gaiman's Journal... About the stuff the 'authors' not being in a possition to grant permission to use thier own material... That's what's the problem.
