Smart Bitches Trashy Books | All of the romance, none of the bullshit.

For a bossy little bitch, I tend to favor somewhat anarchistic systems of organization, and my thoughts and feelings on copyright law are informed by this bent. On one hand, copyright protects important rights for artists and creators, and I certainly don’t think abolishing all forms of copyright law is a viable answer; on the other hand, certain aspects of copyright law as it stands now and the way in which it’s being (ab)used by some copyright holders seems, well, ethically suspect, even if it’s legally kosher. Keeping to the letter of the law but violating its spirit, if you will.

We’ve had some interesting discussions on copyright before right here at Smart Bitches, like in the comments to this entry about e-books. I’d like to hear more opinions about this issue, especially after you’ve read the comic.
