Complexity And Copyright In Contradiction, Michael J. Madison Jan 2000

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.
