I haven't looked at the effects of copyright, but in school, I studied (as
did every economics student) the effects of different constraints on free
markets. It sounds interesting. Maybe there are reports and research
into this question already. One thing that seems almost too obvious to
mention is that free markets rely on free (as in freedom) information to
function well. That is a fundamental concept that ran through all my
economics education. If you are interested, we should start looking at
what is already out there and discuss it. I'm game.
