Copyright polarization

The Register has a detailed piece analyzing all sides of the highly polarized copyright debate. Well worth reading.

"The debate is much more interesting than Yet Another Argument About Copyright because it reveals how people value human creativity, and that's something we're all entitled to have a say in. It also reveals what people really mean when they claim their position is 'good for society' - and again, it's our obligation when someone with this purpose pops up to shake them down vigorously, and see what rolls out of their trousers. In this case there is much merit on both sides of the exchange."
