William
Patry. How to Fix Copyright (Oxford
University Press, 2011).
“…offers
solid, evidence-based guidance that will reshape our understanding of what real
copyright problems are—and how to navigate the complex dilemmas surrounding
authorship and rights in the digital age. Among the topics covered are why we
don’t have effective copyright laws, whether incentives and deterrence work,
abandoning our obsession with exclusive rights in favor of ensuring that
authors get paid, figuring out the proper length of copyright and the role of
formalities, and encouraging socially useful but unauthorized uses.”
