My thoughts on copy rights.

It is my belief that copy rights and patents were originally created to 
promote the person who personally was the creator of such to financially 
promote further creation.  We have gone far beyond that goal today.  The 
actual creator is often not the recipient of that benefit.  Further it 
was for commercial distribution and never for the monopoly of 
knowledge.  How can this be fixed?
