i think all too often we don't see how far some laws actually extend.
in truth i think poetry is the least abused for profit. we have poems up of Sylvia and sexton. if i wanted a book of them i'd buy one, utilizing them hasn't stopped me from buying a book or cd. because i wouldn't but then anyway, and that's often the case.
that said, i'd be much more inclined to buy a book after reading or hearing some of their poems on this site should i be a member. now days they want you to buy a cd for the one song on it you've heard.
when i was younger i bought and read quite a lot, now and then as i get older. i never bought an album i didn't listen to.
lets ask ourselves, how many people read dickens, shakespeare at school how many haven't see cleopatra or the taming of shrew. and how many bought the books of those people after the fact. i know i did. i learned of shakespeare through tv, not through education, i had non many of my generation had little more. no one ever lost a penny from anything i downloaded. a few made something.
