Synopses & ReviewsBook News Annotation:Litman (law, Wayne State U.) makes a forceful argument, written in
clear English, for the imminent and current problems to be expected
from the 1998 Copyright Law in the US, as well as other rulings
leading up to it, that seek to limit free access to information on
the Internet in favor of the companies that hold the copyright. She
outlines the difficulties and inconsistencies within the law, and
offers a revised version that would reform it.
Annotation c.

A timely and very useful resource." Booklist Review:"Litman's argument that copyright laws are artificially stacked against emerging technologies is a persuasive one."

Should every interaction between consumers and copyright-protected works be restricted by law? Here she argues for reforms that reflect common sense and the way people behave in their daily digital interactions.
