The Economist has an article echoing what many of us have said before: the best way to foster creativity in the digital age is to overhaul current copyright laws. The article summarizes the DMCA, Eldred Case, digital piracy, and the original purpose of copyright and concludes that if copyright is to continue to work at all and be in the interests of consumers "more limited copyrights would have to be enforceable, and in the digital age this would mean giving content industries much of the legal backing which they are seeking for copy-protection technologies."
