Guardian Unlimted: It’s time to overhaul copyright. [via]

From the article:

We copy each other to learn and to improve - it’s one of the things that makes us human, because we’re a lot better at it than chimps.

We absolutely agree, even though it’s a sweeping generalization that doesn’t necessarily hold true for all humans…or all chimps, for that matter.

I can’t even begin to imagine how much money I owe Mick Jagger & Co. for the many, many, many times I’ve battled intoxication and poor karaoke sound systems in order to “ape” his high notes in “Beast of Burden.”

And now I’ve said it online. And now they will sue me.

I can shrug it off!
