Copyright Issues in the Internet Age
Boynton writes quoting Professor Yochai Benkler of Yale Law School :
''We are at a moment in our history at which the terms of freedom and justice are up for grabs,'' Benkler says. He notes that each major innovation in the history of communications -- the printing press, radio, telephone -- was followed by a brief period of openness before the rules of its usage were determined and alternatives eliminated. ''The Internet,'' he says, ''is in that space right now.''
The article quotes numerous personalities and legal authorities in the field. It is a very good read here.
