Does copyright have any future on the internet?
Oppenheim, Charles
Does copyright have any future on the internet? - 2000
Considers whether copyright has a future in an electronic environment. Considers some relevant examples of legal cases and some responses to the stresses, in terms of both attitudes and legislation. Concludes that copyright is unlikely to survive in its present form, and that attempts to strengthen it by means of increasing owner rights could be counter-productive. Suggests that innovative thinking and ideas are necessary, together with increased owner-user cooperation, if copyright is to survive.
