I've tried this pretty successfully in the past. The only problem is that it has trouble with CSS and some of the newer technologies sometimes. Not always that easy to work with.

Hmmm...interesting. I've never thought about it like that before. So, basically it says that the government will protect your ideas to encourage you to make them (and profit from them) in the short term so we can all benefit from them later.

getting the copyright monopoly must provide something besides just effort, namely originality.
I think you really hit the nail on the head with this one - after all, it would be impossible by definition to copyright something that *wasn't* original. I also agree that effort is a de-coupled issue. The copyright doesn't care whether it was easy or hard for you to come up with your idea. But, whether outdated or not, it is the only means of protection an artist/scientist/whetver has at the current time.
