The Purpose of Copyright

OpenSpaces Quarterly publiceert in zijn septembernummer een aardig artikel over copyright in de VS getiteld, The Purpose of Copyright.
"Modern-day copyright harbors a dark side. The misunderstanding held by many who believe that the primary purpose of copyright law is to protect authors against those who would pilfer the author's work threatens to upset the delicate equilibrium in copyright law. This misunderstanding obviously works to the benefit of the content owning industries, such as the publishing industry, the music and motion picture industries, and the computer software industry".
