Derek Powazek on copyright

September 13, 2000 by Michael Boyle

Derek Powazek on copyright. I share some of his uncertainty on this matter. Every writer, designer, artist, musician, programmer… well, everyone should be a little uncertain. Even if you think Napster is the cat’s ass (and I do), there’s no panacea here. There’s no technical system that pops us into an ethical new world in which ideas are shared on principle and credit is given as a matter of course.
