Complexity And Copyright In Contradiction, Michael J. Madison
Complexity And Copyright In Contradiction, Michael J. Madison
Michael J. Madison
The title of the article is a deliberate play on architect Robert Venturi?s classic of post-modern architectural theory, Complexity and Contradiction in Architecture. The article analyzes metaphorical ?architectures? of copyright and cyberspace using architectural and land use theories developed for the physical world. It applies this analysis to copyright law through the lens of the First Amendment. I argue that the ?simplicity? of digital engineering is undermining desirable ?complexity? in legal and physical structures that regulate expressive works.
