We're on the path of creating monopoly business practices out of copyright law.

The rights of copyright holders need to be protected, but some draconian remedies that have been suggested would create more problems than they would solve.

The problem with copyright enforcement is that when the parameters aren't incredibly well defined, it means big corporations, who have deeper pockets and better lawyers, can bully people.

In making policy designed with copyright in mind, you end up making decisions about whether other important technologies, such as privacy-enhancing or file-search technologies, should be encouraged or discouraged. A collision is happening between creativity and protecting IP.

I'm not a big believer in our copyright laws; I find them way too restrictive.

Monopolists who fear competition and who distrust democracy because it stands for equal opportunity would like to secure their position against small and energetic enterprise.

I am a strong believer that intellectual property rights need to be protected.

Only a monopolist could study a business and ruin it by giving away products.

Monopolies are bad because people get bad service for high prices. Competition is good because people get good service for competitive prices.
