| Message | Getting on the "nation-crashing" namecalling bandwagon there too ISP? Limited copyright good. Overuse of patents bad. Fortunately, that's another proposal entirely and so I can support this. |

| Message | this will stifle innovation not promote it , particularly in the case of technology and art , progress is rarely made through financial incentive ,providing researchers and artists have funding to do their stuff most will do it out of love for their subject , I can vouch for this first hand. By allowing their patrons to "protect" the results of this research ,etc they are making research and innovation in other sectors unnecessarily difficult and encouraging a research ethic within their own organisation promoting the creation of the most profitable product and not the best (e.g. capped proccessors) |
