I seem to spend half my time pointing out that just because creative works can be turned into bits and shared, that doesn't mean the creators' rights over their works should be taken away. I seem to spend the other half of my time pointing out that new business models have to come from the creators and owners of property, rather than being imposed on them through theft.

How refreshing to have someone else push Sisyphus' rock up the hill; I welcome the rest. Please enjoy Hank Williams' dressing down of Michael Arrington on the future of creative works and copyright. Thanks to Dean Kay for the tip.
