Summary
We humans, unlike beasts and gods, have many needs and are insufficient in ourselves. We are in art’s grip, needing to consume and create art for the intellectual stimulation, for the challenge, for the joy of standing in the presence of beauty and communicating with fellow humans. There may be no escaping it. Or, if escape is possible, freedom from art is an ill-advised strategy for living. Given the importance of art to our being, the regulation of it through copyright is of fundamental importance.
