In Origins of an Idea, Mr. Shrum defends the historic concept of Constitutional protection for original expression against an onslaught of attacks waged against it by Sweden’s Pirate Party, the Missionary Church of Kopimism, and other grass roots organizations threatening to destroy the universal concept of government-granted monopolies for original thought established by Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. Through reason and apologetics, from a philosophical and historical perspective, he defends and illustrates the value of the copyright concept and the inherent rights we have in our own original expressions.
