The arrival of the Internet upended the relatively settled world of copyright law and has forced the complete rethink of how rights to a work are allocated and how delivery formats affect an originator's claims to the work. Most of the disputes around novel Internet media delivery systems derive from views on what constitutes a proper understanding of copyright. Who has the right to a work, and to what extent should we protect a rights holder's ability to derive income from it? Is it right to make copyrighted works free of charge? This book offers solutions for improving an increasingly outmoded system.
