Interesting article on copyright in The Economist. Read it here.
It's true that copyrights are a big concern for creative people. Everybody wants to be rewarded correctly for his ideas and creative work. But...shouldn't we reinvent amateurism in this user-generated world? Is it so bad that some kid uses the soundtrack of Eminem in his little video on YouTube? First of all, Eminem is rich enough and secondly it will make him even more popular by the views of the video. I think that paying for copyrights is a thing for big companies but not for amateurs...
So...message to Slim Shady: do not sue little Jason for using a track on his skate-video...
