Rob Reid explains copyright math. Your brain may hurt a little after watching this, but that is just because we are not smart enough to understand the entire equation.    It’s bogus stats like this that intentionally create fear in the public, and our elected officials, with the intention of creating laws that will destroy creativity, and the sharing of knowledge. ... |
