that strikes me as an interesting point. is anyone aware of any studies
(please give me links and/or citations) that shows the amount of "junk"
literature in, say, ancient greek or even europe before copyright?

mostly, I'd like to know whether junk is a natural human event or a
byproduct of copyright. several respectable authors claim that for
patents, junk inventions ARE a side-effect of them.
