Which brings me to another point. Why is intellectual material protected for ever but a really good invention only protected for 17 years? Something is wrong here.

And if any other product is not up to your (subjective) standards, does that give you a license to steal it?
As for your whingeing about intellectual property being owned by the person who made it, your view sickens me. Totally. You, the person who takes others material from the net, posts it under your own name without quotes or links, then has the GALL to say something is wrong with a writer/composer owning their work for life?? Unbelievable Arvon. Try creating your own stuff and let's see how you feel.
If you don't like the music being made, make your own.[/QUOTE]I'm pretty sure he meant that 17 years was not enough...
But seriously, jokes are not copyrighted. They have all been going around for years. When I am at a bar having fun with some friends, and one tell a joke, he
never say "This joke was invented by John smith in 1954...".
No one know who first started a particullar joke. And out of all the jokes website I have visited,
none ever claimed copyright to any jokes.
