Copyright vs Copyleft
8:00 am in Culture, Media by Joh Padgett
I wanted my first column here on The Seminal to be something interesting to discuss about which some of the folks here will have some strong opinions. No better way to get a good comment section debate going than to discuss a person’s or group’s rights around here so I figured we should talk about the foundation on which the entire recorded music business exists: copyrights.
Copyright is considered by some people to be a sacred property right that was deemed so important it was written into the US Constitution:
"To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries".
