Lydia Pallas Loren, The Purpose of Copyright, Open Spaces Quarterly, May 31, 2002. An excellent overview of the history and purpose of copyright law and how it has been perverted in recent times. One of the best brief primers on why copyright is now part of the problem. (Thanks to C-FIT.)

free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
