• http://europa.eu.int/comm/internal_market/copyright/review/consultation_en.htm

• No extension of legal protection for copy protection measures to software, would override interoperability
• such legal protection should apply only to circumvention for the purpose of infringing copyright (?)
• No extension of copyright term, public domain is a Good Thing, perpetual copyright discourages creativity
• PD of public goods enables business value by alternative systems ((such as Gauss is better and cheaper than the EPO-Espacenet)) -- PD enables commercial exploitation while protecting public data makes no sense.

• PD <> "public property" -- Gemeinfreiheit ist nicht Gemeineigentum
