I can take a piece of art, a book, etc, and break it, destroy it, etc. I can buy a car, modify it, r.e. the software, add ipod interface, ground effects and tv, its my prerogative. Copyright laws were put in place to protect intitys from the competition taking their idea and copying and reselling. Ford can buy a chevy, r.e. how its built, and try to use those principles to make their process better, they cannot however, copy or create a similar product/process if it is copyrighted
