You might have to go back to the initial epoch printing press
to find a publishing technology as disruptive. The Interact can reproduce
content and distribute it almost anywhere at nearly light speed. You can call it
the perfect copying machining--with an out tray to everyone.
And
that’s the trouble. (81) For any creator of" "intellectual
property"--text, software, music, video, and so on--the Internet is challenging
the fundamental notion of who owns the content and how it can be used. This
week, the issue reached the United States Supreme Court in a case that may go a
long way toward deciding what rights creators have. The issue isn’t clear
cut.
(82) Protect the creators too much and it may inhibit
technological progress and chill artistic expression, some argue. Others say the
technology and culture of sharing electronic files has made the philosophy of
"all rights reserved" outdated. What’s needed, some observers urge, is a new
copyright that recognizes a middle ground between all rights and no rights to a
work of art.
In court, the big music and film companies "can win
every single case, but they can’t put the genie back in the bottle because
people have discovered that they have the tools of participation," says Andrew
Zolli, founder of Z + Partines Company. (83) What the Internet has done is
wrest away from a few producers the ability to sell scarce goods to a large
group of consumers through expensive and highly controlled channels, he adds,
such as when three commercial networks controlled what TV viewers saw in the
1960s. (84) Now everyone with access to a computer has the tools to produce as

Indeed, the Internet hasn’t only made copying easy, it also has helped foster
a culture in which some artists create new work by literally reusing or remixing
the work of others. Hip-hop music, built on the idea of "sampling" the beats
or sounds of earlier music, is the most obvious of several examples. "The very
works that we seek to copyright are built from found objects of other cultural
products," Mr. Zolli says.
