Zittrain on Copyright
posted by mpawlo on Monday August 04, @06:56AM
from the why-i-almost-hate-copyright dept.
Copyright Professor Jonathan Zittrain (of Ed fame!) has published an article on the effects of copyright on the digital revolution. Professor Zittrain states:

'I hate that creativity is metered and parceled to its last ounce of profit. I hate that our technology is hobbled beyond its paper and other analog counterparts so that it permits us to view but not print, listen but not share, read once but not lend, consume but not create. But I can hate this situation without believing that the idea of copyright is fundamentally flawed'

Read the article in Legal Affairs.
