Copyright law's history is one of continuous evolution in the face
of technological change. But arguably no prior technological change
has impacted copyright with a magnitude comparable to the
development of the Internet. Never before has there been such
widespread and immediate access to such a broad array of creative
works; never before have content creators ranging from individuals
to large corporations -- been able to reach a global audience so
effortlessly and inexpensively; and never before has it been
possible for members of the public to create, transform or
distribute multiple perfect copies of works seamlessly, without
regard to national borders. How to retain a meaningful copyright
system that continues to drive the production of creative works
while at the same time preserving the innovative power of the
Internet and the free flow of information are questions at the
forefront of today's policy debate. As a broadening array of
creators continue to express themselves and share their valuable
works with the world, and as the Internet continues to grow in
economic, social and cultural relevance, the importance of these
questions will only be heightened. The industries that rely on
copyright are today an integral part of the U.S. economy,
accounting for millions of jobs and contributing billions of
dollars to the GDP Moreover, the creative content they produce
contributes to the development of the broader Internet economy,
spurring the creation and adoption of innovative distribution
technologies. Not only do these industries make important economic
contributions, they are at the core of our cultural expression and
heritage. It is no exaggeration to say that U.S. music, movies,
television shows, computer software, games, writings and works of
art have changed the world. This book provides a lens through which
to assess current policy related to copyright and the Internet,
identifying important issues that are being addressed by the courts
and those that are ripe for further discussion and development of
solutions.
