The way i look at it copyright laws are there to protect those whom want to be protected, take for instance Paris Hilton whom copyrighted the phrase "Thats Hot"? how about terms such as Bling Bling which have become part of most english dictionaries. By the looks of it, anything in this age and era can be copyrighted and belong to an individual / organization.
In regards to the remix culture which encourages for instance artist to sample, copy, and use specific features of an already existing tune - I do not see anything wrong with that, it is pretty common for consumers to prefer a remix version of a song compared to the original. I just see it as added value and sharing of wealth.
If Madonna produces a song which does not make it onto the charts, wouldn't it be a wise things for her to bring along someone like Justine Timberlake to feat. in her song? I am not trying to say that Justine T. popularity over shadows Madonna, incorporating two great artist to worked on one possibly failed song is perfectly fine. Most American artist are Green Back chasers anyways....
Is the notion and concept of copyrights and intellectual property really that important?
