Its not just strong copyrights. Its copyrights that last forever. Every time they would expire the law is changed to make them last longer. Shouldn't we eventually have new stories and ideas entering the public domain?

As for stronger copyright protection. I'm ok with the idea of protection of copyrighted material, but I don't like the idea of copyright holders determining how legitimate owners can use copyright materials beyond legal restrictions on distribution. I don't like the fact that the idea of fair use seems to be disappearing or the fact that the movie studios are trying to control what technology is allowed in terms of displaying digital content.
