Judging by the state of software-piracy with PC software with 80-90%+ piracy rates, the market is already pretty much ok with ignoring copyright, and would be happy to have no copyrights.

So long as it isn't money your taking out of their pocket. There is an obvious double standard at play in the piracy issue. ____________________________________________________________________ The seeker is a finder.
