Earning an income in our time often involves ownership of or
control over creative assets. Employing the law and philosophy of
economics, this illuminating book explores the legal controversies
that emerge when authors, singers, filmmakers, and social media
barons leverage their rights into major paydays. It explores how
players in the entertainment and technology sectors articulate
claims to an ever-increasing amount of copyright-protected media.
It then analyzes efforts to reform copyright law, in the contexts
of 1) increasing the rights of creators and sellers, and 2)
allocating these rights after employment and labor disputes,
constitutional challenges to intellectual property law, efforts to
legalize online mashups and remixes, and changes to the amount of
streaming royalties paid to actors and musicians. This work should
be read by anyone interested in how copyright law - and its
potential reform - shapes the ownership of ideas in the social
media age.
