No meio de uma recente discussão bizantina sobre
a decisão dos herdeiros de Faulkner de processar Woody Allen pelo uso "indevido" [quer dizer não remunerado]
das palavras do autor no filme Midnight
in Paris, um advogado ofereceu duas citações que eu achei bastante
interessantes:
"The primary objective of copyright is not
to reward the labor of authors, but '[t]o promote the Progress of Science and
useful Arts.' To this end, copyright assures authors the right to their
original expression, but encourages others to build freely upon the ideas and
information conveyed by a work. This result is neither unfair nor unfortunate.
It is the means by which copyright advances the progress of science and
art."
Justice Sandra Day O'Connor [juíza do supremo estadounidense]
Feist Publications, Inc. v. Rural Telephone Service Co. 499 US 340, 349(1991)
"Only one thing is impossible for God: to find any sense in any copyright law on the planet . . . Whenever a copyright law is to be made or altered, then the idiots assemble."
