McLeod's writings are very accurate in their satire on the current mood of copy write in the U.S. today. When he writes about certain companies wanting the Human Genome Project's map of the human genome for private use, that is a terrifying concept. The idea that scientists can map out a piece of human genetics that could potentially cure diseases and save millions of lives and a company would want to take it and make it into a private item is horrifying. Given that I personally believe that if you create a product, you should receive compensation for that certain product. But the way the laws are structured anymore, this is a ridicules concept that needs to be reshaped. When musicians are running amok with others work and becoming wealthy off of something the didn't make, that's wrong. But limiting creative work so that no one can enjoy it is equally wrong. Bottom line, the current copy write laws need to change.
