Copyright reform is extremely important to people involved in creation, and the turnout at the consultations and rallies speaks volumes about how people really feel about copyright reform.Davenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38495605.post-46453136218950281692010-10-07T10:02:25.181-04:002010-10-07T10:02:25.181-04:00Ironically I think social media can help but Gladw...Ironically I think social media can help but Gladwell is right those who really believe in something and those who will just quickly make an uninformed click are very different.Alexisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38495605.post-86836512768116587322010-10-06T16:38:19.729-04:002010-10-06T16:38:19.729-04:00----------------------------

This can sometimes change the outcome. <br /><br />Attendance at a rally is not representative of a cause's importance either. Take the numerous environmental issues that most consumers care about, and compare that to the percentage of activists who actually attend the rally's. <br /><br />The line isn't drawn in the sand as clear as numbers show. Support for balanced copyright exists- awareness is what needs to grow. Online advocacy is a proven starting point.Bryan AVMhttp://OPOPO.canoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38495605.post-54779715703394215102010-10-06T12:08:27.442-04:002010-10-06T12:08:27.442-04:00John,

Not one group has yet adopted my suggestion that copyrights be non-transferable except as an inheritance, something that must be a major part of any type of copyright reform.<br /><br />Nor are they considering the misuse of the 'work for hire' concept.<br /><br />In fact the big boys (Sookman, Gannon, Geist, Knopf) have not even addressed the issue.<br /><br />As a result, I've decided to get intellectually nasty to them.

I am on that facebook page frequently, just because I haven't contributed there doesn't mean I'm not invested. I choose to keep up to date there. <br />I know none of this jives with your "Mainstream views", I guess that's why you're so intent on dismissing the masses in favor of the mainstreamGruesomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13993466573477002853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38495605.post-72747611783290072502010-10-05T20:46:58.530-04:002010-10-05T20:46:58.530-04:00Sorry for the second post, it didn't give me t...Sorry for the second post, it didn't give me the follow up comments option the first time - feel free to delete this one.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18354974465136846413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38495605.post-22573089925968599522010-10-05T20:45:55.403-04:002010-10-05T20:45:55.403-04:00John,

If the rest of the copyright people want to change other parts, or hang themselves when they try to change something so that it doesn't actually fit for future changes of technology, they are free to do so.Chris Anoreply@blogger.com
