Actually, I used to think that the Copyright model was not as bad, as it appears now. It looks like it completely disrupts a self-tuning market, applies pressure on a creator's mind to give up to tastes of the now-well-defended-publishers, compromises creativity, and promotes actual plagiarism. Its important feature is that any work of art may disappear unnoticed, regardless of how talented it is. High prices must overwhelm the book/art market and undermine its development.
The last trend brings in tensions in the industry and spurs up attempts to extend the initial monopoly even further in order to restore vanishing profits. Actually such attempts come forward even before markets shrink or regardless. As long as the idea of monopoly is considered to be the right one, holders should fight to always extend it.
The copyright trick amazes me more and more. It badly affects culture and civilization in many ways while helping publishers to make business easier. What is really striking here, is that ``EASIER'' IS NOT necessarily more PROFITABLE!
