    haha, i think the phrase is "it's as long as you don't take someone else's property without their consent" there bud, which has nothing to do with copying data on computers... We have a great tradition of stealing ideas and our patent system is designed to facilitate idea spreading after the minimal amount of time possible. Just because Disney hacked the system and set their own property rights to last 120 years after the authors death so they could continue extracting money out of mickey mouse for the maximum amount of time, doesn't mean that everyone is going to follow the shitty rule they made up which has a side effect of preventing many other ideas from being exchanged freely after a reasonable amount of time.

    Then there's a second copyright argument that involves math. Math is not being copyrightable and everything being digital it is essentially converted to a mathematical representation of the content and being only a representation of the content in mathematical form it is thus not copyrightable.

    No, spam has nothing to do with copyright.
