Copyright has several aspects to it. One aspect is the right to make money off the work by selling copies. As you have correctly pointed out, that aspect must change in the digital era because copies are no longer an object of value and it no longer costs anything to make them.

Another aspect to copyright, however, is recognition and credit -- the right to be identified as the author of the work and not have other people appropriate your work and claim it to be their own. In a world where copies are worthless, recognition and credit is all the more important. The amateur content creators on Flickr have every right to be mad as hell that these marketing assholes are appropriating their work without permission or credit."

March Baby :: Tigers Eyes: Dec 2, 2007 8:01pm 1 review cats
http://marchbaby.net/index.php?Section=reads&Name=catdiary; From the page: "DAY 774 - I am convinced the other captives are flunkies and maybe snitches. The dog is routinely released and seems more than happy to return. He is obviously a half-wit. The Bird on the other hand has got to be an informant. He has mastered their frightful tongue (something akin to mole speak) and speaks with them regularly. I am certain he reports my every move. Due to his current placement in the metal room his safety is assured. But I can wait, it is only a matter of time."

A List Apart: Articles: The Trouble With EM 'n EN (and Other Shady Characte…: Dec 1, 2007 1:09am 6 reviews web-design, typography
http://www.alistapart.com/articles/emen/; From the page: "That hyphen you can insert with the key next to the zero on your keyboard is an ambiguous character suffering from an identity crisis. It can't decide if it's a hyphen, a minus, or an en dash-in fact, the Unicode specification describes it as "hyphen-minus" and defines very specific replacements for each of its personalities."

More irony: I had to replace some shady characters using the "hyphen-minus" key to make the "from the page" quote readable!
