Use Of Copyright Content On The Internet: Considerations On Excludability And Collective Licensing, Daniel J. Gervais

Daniel J Gervais

The Internet has been a catalyst for problems latent within the copyright system. Fundamentally, the question is to determine under what circumstances should a copyright holder have a right to exclude others from using her copyright work on the Internet? This is the topic of this chapter.

Scott T. FitzGibbon

In the Republic, Plato describes a stage in social decay called “formlessness,” where all sorts of differences are accepted and none is preferred. No one need hold office or obey.

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights reflects a philosophy quite the reverse of Plato’s formless city. Its …
