Ask anyone who has studied the politics of copyright - the students of music and literature, economists, sociologists, law professors - and they will tell you the problem with # 1 the rights of copyright is that it is enacted without the use of evidence.

Professor Ian Hargreaves

, the last prominent commissioned by the government to review the policy of the United Kingdom Copyright, lamented that his advice was echoed by many of his predecessors, none were heard.

Politicians are shameless

lack of evidence in policy Copyright - 2011 European single market for intellectual property rights report states that "The case is not necessary to do more : intellectual property rights in its different forms and shapes are the key assets of the EU economy.

And while the latest blockbusters do best, is still a patchwork, forcing people to open accounts in different departments to access the entire catalog (which still has many omissions important).
