Re:Just maybe - World Renaissance? (Score 1)

...once you have a digital copy, and you allow an user to access said digital copy, it's possible to make a perfect digital copy of it. It's so fundamental...

Paraphrased more clearly (hopefully):
If it is digital it is exactly quantified. It is then inherently possible to make "perfect" copies.
Any other measures taken can be "un-taken".

The next step, given:
1. All the analogue-to-digital converting going on - images/sound/anything else? These convey information and ideas (once spam filtered anyway...)
2. Worldwide communication previously unmatched in history.

Are we then at the beginning of a digitally conveyed Worldwide Renaissance?

Digital divide not withstanding. Although if a we can label certain events as "World Wars" surely it's about time we had a World Renaissance.

[Insert Deity of choice here] knows, implementations of true art and moments of creative brilliance is few and far between. They need more sharing.
