I just thinking what would be with photography at all if copyright laws as we have them were on photographic processes and techniques. Thank to Whomever/Whatever for French government for buying rights from Niepce and Daguerre and to give them to public. Imagine if heirs of Niepce and Daguerre still have copyright on photographic processes like developing light sensitive materials and fixing image which was created with that development...

While copyright is great when you earn money, it is danger to, let say "public interest"

But, hey, everything is about money and when big image agencies or music/movies companies want to earn even more, well...
