Could it be something like the “chaos” example where a butterfly fluttering it’s wings causes a tornado or hurricane half the world away? A small action having a large consequence.

I’m not sure the butterfly example is relevant to the “ephemeral copying” that you are talking about, if I’m correctly understanding this “every action on the network is a copy”. I’ve never done any lawyering, but could the actions of the copyright holder, in making the information available via the web, be taken as permission for this “ephemeral copying” to take place?

If everyone who browses the web is breaking the law…what happens?

I wonder…if existing copyright laws had been enacted in 1800, 1900, or 1950? What would we not have now? Who would be in jail?

It’s great because everyone knows it. But what hasn’t been added is that it’s perfect because everyone knows it because of its long period of availability while its copyright was lapsed!

This time: A *scientist* (me, for example) who ceded copyright to his work to a privately held scientific publisher (as we nearly always must to get it published – there are no one-time rights in scientific publishing!) – and has now LOST his expectation that his work will in time pass into the public domain, preferably in his own lifetime.

There is CLEAR harm to here to specific individuals, to science generally, and to the public who funded the work through NIH grants. Not to mention CLEAR violation of the copyright clause’s specification that copyright be for the promotion of science and the useful arts….

Will all great Neptune’s ocean wash this blood
Clean from my hand? No: this my hand will rather
The multitudinous seas incarnadine,
Making the green one red.

You can slowly heat water and its properties will slowly change, up to about 212F, at which point its properties change dramatically. It expands, becomes very difficult to contain, and in short goes from being a beverage to weather.

Every week, after going about your day, all your belongings, all your notes, and all your memories are scrubbed clean of any copyrighted material unless you buy a license. Some things don’t even have licenses, however; you need to rent your memories and buy them back every single time you want to remember your trip to Disneyland, or that movie you liked the other week.

Oh, and what was said about a license? Well, there are additional things. You can only remember the good parts, not the bad ones, and you can only remember it in one specific way. You can’t make any drawings of what you saw or whistle the tune you heard. You can’t tell others about this thing you experienced, except as allowed by the license guidelines. The memory says in your head, and can’t escape.

Until we decide you can’t have it any more at all.

The mere marks on a page give rise to mutual understanding and communication and perhaps miscommunication too. Fast forward to this blog and you see how your desire to write more and communicate your views is advanced by marks from the keyboard to the screen. If it weren’t for computers, internet, blogs, how would you request and receive input from unknown participants? How many times have you read something and had it cause you to react a certain way?

And the Star Trek episode “Evolution”, where Wil Wheaton’s character Wesley creates/discovers that the nanotechnology he is working with has the capacity to “think” and evolve. Just viewing this episode made people think about the possibilities of nanotechnology and in real life, there was great exposure for the research now being done. (or is this art imitating life imitating art?)
