A defense of current copyright legislation. The author takes pains to point out that you may own copyright over certain content, and therefore benefit from copyright law. That's like saying that because you have money you benefit from laws that protect people with a lot of money. It may be true in a minimal sense, but different laws could protect your money without granting carte blanche to the rich. The author also asserts that there are no "copyright police" yet, an assertion that might surprise the operators at Verizon, a service provider ordered by the court to begin acting as copyright police.
