9. “Overprotecting intellectual property is as as
harmful as underprotecting it. Creativity is
impossible without a rich public domain.
Overprotection stifles the the very creative
forces it is supposed to nurture...
... 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”
Judge Alex Kozinski
US Court of Appeals
