Bit by bit every element of our culture is being taken into private hands - even our shared history, which is effectively an attempt to stake a claim to our memories & what has made us what we are. History could then be re-written to suit the owners of the Copyright on it.
Still, as long as it stops some obscure Texan author being able to put JRR Tolkien in a novel that a few hundred people will read its worth it.....
(Puts on Helen Lovejoy voice: 'Won't somebody pleeease think of the Tolkien children!")
