Dear all,  I would be interested in getting your comments on a subject I am looking at for an academic paper: Do you believe that copyright {rigid} protection (its term is 'life of the author + 70 years) stifles creative sound/music making (mainly cut'n'paste, minimal electro, atmospheric/deconstructive Rock, field recording, etc...)?  This is not a 'freedom of speech' consideration for we all do agree on the benefits of collaboration and sharing techniques/ideas/sound pieces within a defined marginal music community. This concerns the fact that copyright is purely an undeserved, uncreative (and many other 'un'!) future revenue streams which benefit only the big corporations and that Copyright Acts have hidden behind the excuse of 'protecting the public interest for the progress of Art'.  I appreciate your help for that and thank you all in advance...

Eric
