Restricting Fair Use To Save The News: A Proposed Change In Copyright Law To Bring More Profit To News Reporting, Ryan T. Holte
Prof. Ryan T. Holte
This article deals with the current state of the news industry and the rapidly declining number of national newspapers. It examines the present condition of the media, the effect the Internet has had on the news business, and the economic and public policies behind protecting news. The paper then discusses the current means of protecting information, through copyright and misappropriation law, before proposing a change in the Copyright Act to better allow the news industry to reap profits from top-caliber news reporting.
