Launching into a complete analysis of copyright law in our
capitalistic and hegemonistic political system. Ronald Bettig
uncovers the power of the wealthy few to expand their fortunes
through the ownership and manipulation of intellectual property.
Beginning with a critical interpretation of copyright history in
the United States, Bettig goes on to explore such crucial issues as
the videocassette recorder and the control of copyrights, the
invention of cable television and the first challenge to the filmed
entertainment copyright system, the politics and economics of
intellectual property as seen from both the neoclassical
economists' and the radical political economists' points of view,
and methods of resisting existing laws. Beautifully written and
well argued, this book provides a long, clear look at how
capitalism and capitalists seize and control culture through the
ownership of copyrights, thus perpetuating their own ideologies and
economic superiority.
