Ah, thanks for the clarification.  So insure everyone the right to  
record and share whatever they like?  Hollywood and the record  
companies would be most unhappy.  I have written many times here that  
augmentation of human beings whether that augmentation is external or  
internal leads  to an ability to perfectly record/remember   
everything one experiences and share it with others.  It would be  
good to start reworking our assumptions, mores, business models and  
laws now for the world that is coming.
