Privacy – If I write something for just my family and friends, who owns it after the copyright timelimit?  Does copyright law apply only to materials with copyright notices?

Property and Copyright – Where is the line between property and copyrights?  What about art works?  Should the public own the copyright to Picasso's paintings?

National Borders – Who is the public?  Should citizens of France have the copyright to literatures written by American authors after some timelimit?

Copy and Mutilate – What if I distributed copies of old literatures with key sections replaced?  Am I violating a law?

I believe the public should not have rights that it is not willing to take.  Most people in America are not even aware that copyrights have a time limit.  If the public had sufficient will to limit copyrights to 1 year, it could have.
