Law Seven: Copyright - Reset the Balance

內容大綱
The Laws of Disruption, written by Larry Downes, a partner with the Bell-Mason Group, is an 12-chapter book published by Basic Books/Perseus Books Group. Composed of four sections, the book explores a simple but unavoidable principle of modern life: though technology changes exponentially, social, economic, and legal systems change incrementally. This disparity in change, Downes argues, will inevitably instigate conflicts between systems rooted in the past and the current and future generations who are dramatically rewriting the rules of both business and social interaction. Downes suggests nine emerging principles that are shaping a new legal code - the laws of disruption - that will close the gap between institutions of the past and those of the future. Chapter 9 discusses the seventh of the nine laws of disruption: copyright. This chapter explores the ongoing and escalating conflict between producers attempting to protect their content and digital consumers who are routinely accused of copyright abuse. The history of copyright is discussed, as are the steps being taken on one side to enhance digital copyrights and, on the other, to repeal them. The author proposes a simple but controversial solution to the digital copyright dilemma and theorizes about the future of intellectual property.
