I don't know why they include Copyright, but I sense corporate conspiracy...

I don't know why they include Copyright

Especially since they then go on about the importance of the free flow of ideas, and allowing everyone to access information. Information under Copyright usually costs money and lack of money is one of the biggest problems there is.

I support protecting intellectual property during an author's lifetime, but I see no reason for it to extend for so long after their death.

Well then, happy Book and (one day everything runs out of) Copyright Day.

Hear hear!
