IT’S KEVIN KELLY (WIRED EDITOR)
V. JACK VALENTI (MPAA)
The latest entertainment cartel
abuse is extending copyrights. Some of their arguments
are laughable. According to Valenti, the entertainment
needs longer copyrights to convert old materials. "Who
is going to digitize these public domain movies?"
It’s
the very thing you’re fighting. Says Kelly, "I
have an answer: movie buffs. Not only have fans moved
almost all of music into the digital era, they have
been busy moving hundreds of millions of documents onto
the Web and are producing millions of pages of daily
reporting and news in Weblogs. And without the help
of paralyzed publishers, avid readers have already converted
nearly 20,000 books in the public domain."
