It's worth remembering that in a democracy, the government's only function -- and its sole duty -- is to act in the best interest of the people at large. The government should never give power to a small number of people (like an individual or a corporation) at the expense of others unless there is a compelling social interest in doing so. This doesn't mean that copyright should be abolished, but it does mean that arguments about copyright should always proceed from the perspective of social benefit.
The sense in this statement is amazing.
