Document Summary
Infringement nation: copyright reform and the law/norm gap. The internet can be regulated, even in the face of the fractured and anarchic international legal regime: copyright maximalists, such as the motion picture association of america (mpaa) and. Recording industry association of america (riaa), have bemoaned the internet"s potential to transform any teenager with a computer into a grand larcenist. They argue that development of digital rights management technology has enabled copyright owners to exercise unparalleled dominion over their property, thereby constraining fair use rights. Copyright relevance: copyright nowadays is just as important to the average consumer as it is to special interest groups, copyright law has a profound impact on two leading sectors of our economy technology and media/entertainment. This new generation views intellectual properties as the raw materials for its own creative acts, blurring the lines that have long separated producers from consumers.
