I am tired of copyright

Here's the thing... I'm all for authors and other producers making money. That's great. However, modern copyright has steadily denied any competing virtues, such as allowing broad access or letting works go into the public domain. Instead, it's all about extending it in time and in reach so that nobody, nowhere, is allowed to enjoy anything without paying someone else a fee.

I am convinced that this can't work. Prices for content distribution (bandwidth, hardware) continue to go down, and the cops can't be everywhere.
