PS How about the eloquence of "When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one party to proclaim plenar rights to the expressive configurement of God's free elements....such that no other creature of God's firmament can, shall or will borrow, steal, or God Forbid, copy, said configurement now, ever or never......unless I say so, the Supreme Court says so...or it is learned that it has been in the public domain for 2000 years and is a reconfigurement of an obscure bible story. In the event a court of competent jurisdiction adjudicates to my favor and blesses my palm with Ben Franklins, 1/2 of that money will go for the public benefit through The Grammys Musicare or other such greater "artistic / creative" community benefit. This goes for my attorney too, who will donate half his fees for the greater creative good. If providence allows me to accumulate over $100 million from my creative expression, all rights to my work past that will be considered public domain after a 3 year run at exclusivity...... by the people, for the people..[the creative spirit] shall not perish from this earth."
Indeed inclusiveness can save hundreds of millions of dollars in IP squabbling....take a cue for dr KEW.....(who knew past Guttenberg, Marconi, Philo T. Farnsworth and Mad Man Muntz?)...
Here's the dr kopp e wright phrase that takes it to the next level of possibility

Here's the new magic phrase: "in all media throughout the universe and beyond..."
I think that I shall never see
a talk show host richer than Ophrah on TV
who slipped in a little rhyme....
now someone wants her to do time!!
When is deminimis gonna remind the folk
that using a few of the same words is no crime...its a joke
Oprah you got off lucky....
if young Shakespeare would have Copyright Office Registered...
it might not have been so ducky! :-)
A friend of mine invented the "mood ring" (Josh Reynolds / Laguna Beach).
Sales were great......then a flood of them came to our shores illegally
as a complete "rip off" from China AT HALF PRICE....and my friend was out of business overnight !!!!
HULA HOOPS were a protected patent....otherwise, China would have sold them for 50 cents....and they probably DID.
PROTECT THE INNOVATOR.....give him his exclusive monopoly as his reward, then turn it over to the public domain 70 years after his death (Camp Town Races Five Mile Long...Doo Dah, Doo Dah) ....its a great paradigm as is....
quit messin' with perfection.
Pirates SUCK....except for Johnny Depp.....and he gets $20 Million and fame to be all that.
What the Cable Company is talking about is being THE GIANT REPOSITORY for other's copyrighted content....we've been through Grokster and Napster....In fact, this NEW REPOSITORY
becomes a new network of unlicensed property....
Many times, a Producer will grant the TV network a one time showing for a fee....this proposal creates a NEW Centralized NETWORK from which any $49 customer to cable can rewatch or postpone watch (indefinitely....or 5 days from original airing??????) ANY show!!!
Also, this may be considered Landham territory....repackaging someone else's goods to be other than what they are and from ANOTHER SOURCE.
Cable Company as a REPOSITORY would be a business of offering other people's property without compensation to the copyright owner.....that is BOGUS on its face....
If "in your own castle" you create your own little network ...so be it....if it's in a meat locker....somebody needs to get permission (a license to re-broadcast for infinity or a limited period) or at least pay a standard or "statuatory" "hamburger" charge (should filet mignon cost more????).
The laws are clear: "If you benefit from my property monetarily (and its not fair use), get my permission or pay me a licensing fee.
What's so hard about that?
You deserve a break today...
