> Those who more or less think copyright shouldn't exist in any case

I still believe a little bit in Jefferson's vision. It's just that that has so little to do with copyright that we're probably not even talking about the same thing. He envisioned copyright as being an incentive to create and do new things, to learn new things.

And here, as it would be used, it would shut down new technologies and quash new ideas. Clearly, such people are doing copyright wrong. I am not religious, I do not believe in "sin", but if that word did have any real use, it might be strong enough to describe those who would misuse copyright.

In any event, Jefferson was granting a very limited privilege and not describing a fundamental human right. This privilege was granted by the people, and the people do have the right to revoke that privilege if it continues to be misused. This, I think, is all the warning the misusers deserve. A comment that will be read by hardly anyone, that they will surely never see, and which will give them no headsup at all.

Copyright is a human right only in that it's the right to stop your stuff from being stolen. Which really isn't a right, but a set of rules that are needed for a developed nation to prosper by ensuring people make productive work in pursuit of selfish riches. Otherwise, you could make something, and someone could come along, take your idea/work, and undercut you slightly to put you out of business.
