To be fair, do those games and movies depend currently on copyright?<br>

Also, I would argue that Nintendo DS games, for instance, rely more on being attached to the device rather<br>than on copyright.<br>Of course, one can say that if there was no copyright, then people would not want to release games and then<br>
no composer would be hired to write music for them. But this is a false argument as it implies that copyright<br>is an incentive for making games, when its not. Games were created before copyright, they are created now<br>
and they will be created after copyright.<br><br clear="all"><br>-- <br>Louigi Verona<br><a href="http://www.louigiverona.ru/">http://www.louigiverona.ru/</a><br>
