Code that runs useful programs was put under copyright which can keep being renewed until seventy years beyond the death of the writer instead of under patent which lasts fourteen years and can only be renewed for a second fourteen year period where it belongs. All through pretty blatant corruption.

The author of this drivel doesn't want the Supreme court to restore intellectual property rights to the limited duration protection which the founders intended. Instead the author of this stupid crap wants the supreme court to twist intellectual property rights in a way that benefits whoever’s paid him to write this.

Both the patent and copyright systems are have been thoroughly corrupted by our corrupt government, with the willing cooperation of big business and other corrupt governments across the world. Copyright should last, at most 28 years. I'd be willing to go 14 for unregistered, published works, but to renew, you should have to register, and it should cost something even if it's nominal.
