Copyright And Freedom Of Expression: Saving Free Speech From Advancing Legislation, Amanda Beshears Cook
Copyright And Freedom Of Expression: Saving Free Speech From Advancing Legislation, Amanda Beshears Cook
Chicago-Kent Journal of Intellectual Property
The Supreme Court has expressly recognized the possibility of a First Amendment defense to copyright infringement claims, but it has never actually found such a defense to apply to a case before it. And nearly every year, Congress enacts or attempts to enact more legislation that restricts speech under the banner of the copyright clause. The problem is that the natural right of free speech is being depleted by the legislatively granted right of intellectual property, putting both individual liberty and the public good at risk. Congress and the courts both must begin to acknowledge that in the common law …

Copyright Infringement Of Music: Determining Whether What Sounds Alike Is Alike, Margit Livingston, Joseph Urbinato
