“I think all certified gold records should go into the public domain. In England, once you get to a certain level, you’re taxed at 90%, so Elton & Paul don’t end up owning the place. U2 outgrosses Ireland, they could run the place, instead they support it. The point is, it’s not that unusual to take a steep increment at the far side of income.”

Not in the US!
The land where the 1% of the people who own 90% of the money gets tax cuts!
The land of the free (but only if you’re filthy rich)!

Someone needs to start a religion based on public domain, shelter for the homeless and food for the starving.
Oh wait, most religion are supposed to do that already.
What went wrong?

Why stop with nationalizing copyrights? No one needs more than a million dollars. No one needs more than one car or house. It’s for the common good. And while you’re at it, put a chicken in every pot.

Another clueless Commie fellow traveler.

You’re right, Ireland’s GDP in ‘02 was some 130B, but U2 pulls in a hefty chunk of it
