Why Copyright? Canadian Voices on Copyright Law (Annotated Edition)

The thing with copyrighted material, you CANNOT own it unless you buy the copyright from the copyright owner. That's the whole point of copyright. When you buy a CD or a DVD all you are doing is purchasing a licence to listen to or view your copy for personal or home use only. You try doing something with it that your licence doesn't permit, then the real copyright owner can pretty much do whatever they want to you.

Is there a way to make a more entertaining video along these lines that will grab more attention from all sides to the cause.

There philosophy question that needs to be asked. How can the product copyright the maker? Another words how can descendents of life copyright what gone on before in nature despite what format we put it in?
