Is copyright fair? Why have copyright?  What is the correct form for copyright?
Music publishers, book publishers and movie makers would have you believe that
everlasting all-encompassing copyright is a benefi t to society.

In this lecture Dr Andrew Adams shows why current copyright is too strong and
too long and why it is stifling, rather than promoting, creative work.
