Δαφνη Ευτυχια Αρθουρος

From the Quotation of the day mailing list, 2014-05-06:

"Overprotecting intellectual property is as harmful as underprotecting it. Creativity is impossible without a rich public domain. Nothing today, likely nothing since we tamed fire, is genuinely new: Culture, like science and technology, grows by accretion, each new creator building on the works of those who came before. Overprotection stifles the very creative forces it's supposed to nurture." -- Alex Kozinski, U.S. Ninth Circuit Chief Justice.
