NEW COPYRIGHT OFFICE PUBLICATION:
"SKETCHING THE FUTURE OF COPYRIGHT IN A NETWORKED WORLD"
by Trotter Hardy
<http://lcweb.loc.gov/copyright/cpypub/thardy.pdf>
The Copyright Office is publishing what, at first take, looks like an
important, useful and very readable overview of copyright issues in the
digitally networked environment.
The 300-page report has a 16-page executive summary and a shorter
conclusion that highlights "today's legal issues" and "tomorrow's issues."
It recognizes the unpredictability, both of technology and of the public's
needs and desires, in the near future and the range of business models that
may be coming into play.
The report is currently available as a .pdf file and will be available in
mid-August as a $23 print publication.
