Summary
Copyrights and patents are important protections for inventors, authors, and all sorts of creators. In the case Cox Communications v. Sony Music Entertainment, I'm reminded of the response Willie Sutton gave when asked why he robbed banks. "Because that's where the money is." Because this case seems more like a copyright shakedown than the protection of copyrights.
