Hollywood , The USA and Copyright


Posts:


When will people challenge Hollywood and the United States on their own "copyright violations" history. The founders of Hollywood deliberately moved thousands of miles to California in order to escape paying copyright fees to one Thomas Edison i.e Hollywood is built on copyright infringement. The United States failed to honour copyrights held in Europe for the first 100 years of it's history in order to develop it's own economy; now the United States seeks to force the rest of the world (including fledgling third world economies) to fill the overflowing coffers of the greedy (there is no such thing as enough) corporations which effectively run the United States of America.
