| Date | 11:39:55, June 16, 2007 CET | From | United Republics Party | To | Debating the Save our Artists |
| Message | I'm taking limited protection to mean that they are protected by copyright for a limited amount of time. As such I believe that eventually technology should lose its copyrights protection bcause it could hinder future advances |

| Message | Hear, hear. Copyright protection shouldn't be permanent. The law should remain as it is. |
| Date | 03:34:52, June 17, 2007 CET | From | Independent Republican Party | To | Debating the Save our Artists |
| Message | Good point. Full copyright protection shouldn't last forever in order to give others access to the technology. |
