The article is accurately pointing out the escalation of the implications of copyrights + politics.
Yes, we have had copyrights since before you can remember. I'm not sure what that has to do with how the affects of copyrighting political information on the ability for people to access that information. Assuredly you don't believe it would be practical or even possible for political criticism to continue if more and more references to the statements of politicians must be requested by every individual as opposed to disseminated by means of third parties?
President Doe does not really believe what he now claims. We can't show you the video footage that demonstrates this because it is copyrighted. But you can go to NBC and request a copy of the information by filling out paperwork and you should receive a clip of it in the mail in 4 to 8 weeks. If they agree to let you look at it.
