Another way to combat the tide of irrational copyright attitudes is to
create your own original content/songs/whatever and then release them
under a license that frees people of the restrictions. If each one of
us does this it will slowly change things. The Creative Commons licenses
seem to be popping up in more and more places every day, for example.
