One question
"There's a lot at stake here, and copyright is just the pretext being used for a land grab."

So are you equating "fair use" rights with property rights? Doesn't that equate IP with real property (i.e., land)? If so, doesn't that make the term "theft" more appropriate when speaking of infringement? happy
