IP and `casual piracy`
Fri Jun 17 2005 14:39 MDT #This is a great article from the Freedom To Tinker blog analyzing how far Big IP (music) companies have hijacked the debate. To quote a quote (from Jessica Litman) :
The copyright law says so: section 1008 of the copyright statute provides that consumers may make non-commercial copies of recorded music without liability. Many people seem not to know this any more.
A linked article on the tactic of using DRM to stop personal copying, and how it will backfire is also worthwhile.
And finally this entry by a consumer who is FED UP is an excellent read.
