He was also featured in a documentary I've purchased last year and shown to my Philosophy club.  It's a documentary about how corporations hinder creativity by making attempts to "own" ideas indefinitely:

Very cool PhiloSophia!  I agree with Mark Twain said about Copyright or owning of ideas:

Only one thing is impossible for God: To find any sense in any copyright law on the planet.

I think the only way we'll move away from this paradigm is for new artists, writers and inventors to boycott copyrighting or extending patents.  Creativity is the way forward, and only by everyone building off each other can we hope to muster the movement needed to end all of the suffering on this planet and then head out into the galaxy to explore the stars.

I've had a hard time shaking the copyright model of life. But that video sure helps - thanks for sharing it.
