Salon.com learned their lesson, too, probably at great cost to their formerly loyal readers’ good will.

Well, the endless extension of copyright is a form of piracy — from the Public Domain.

It’s amazing that we can legally make available material only from the early 1920′s or earlier.

That tells you a thing or two about what’s wrong with media ownership in this country.

I miss the old pirates who just admitted they wanted booty and didn’t go into endless rounds of justifying themselves. :)

The New York Times just dropped their paywall — finally — because they realized exactly what you point out here.

The first thing I learned from NYT “after the fall of the wall”: pirates generally make lousy lawyers because they can’t pass the barrrrrrrrrrrr…
