i agree.. but it needs to be more than re-thought... that has been done and is being ignored,,, as a country we are pushing IP and copyright as a big part of the so called "Smart Economy"... i believe this is a huge mistake... the old rules no longer apply.. both IP and copyright need serious overhaul they both stifle innovation and encourage business to sue and be sued.. over ideas... now there is a big debate over whether an idea is owned.. this has been a big area of interest to be for the past several years and the moves made by industries trying to fit their old ways into an expanding openness of communications and knowledge, that is the internet, is not going to work. it will backfire.. we go along with proprietary systems so far for convenience... it's new it's exciting.. look at the bigger picture... patents on medicine, patents on life itself.. is this the type of future we should be supporting in this country? columcille would be rolling in his grave.
