is it possible to rebuild old c64 hardware enhancements?

I take your point. However, it implies that I was not sufficiently specific. I do not argue that copyrights are bad because they ensure that there will be no access to creative works. As you point out, that is clearly not the result of legal restrictions on the flow of knowledge. Rather I argue that to impose a restriction on an activity, that activity should be counter to the interests of society. Free communication of ideas is not counter to the interests of society. Copyright and patent restrictions as they exist today are not well-justified. Lest I be again unclear, I am not suggesting that all forms of legal support for the desires of authors and inventors are inappropriate. I am suggesting that the set of laws that currently exist and the way in which they are currently being applied are inappropriate in the context of today's society and technology. That's actually the point. When I put an idea or a creative expression out there, I cannot say ahead of time whether it will be used in a beneficial way or a detrimental way. I mean that both in the sense of not being able to predict the results and not being able to dictate the uses. If indeed I have such a strong objection to my work being transmitted without proper attribution or even with another claiming credit, then my emotional health would be better served by not making the work available at all, regardless of the government's involvement. A law that dictates what happens for 75 years after my death doesn't significantly change my motivations for making my work available. BLS
