The Economist weighs in on copyrights

The Economist weighs in on copyrights

in a January 23 article entitled A Radical Rethink with the subtitle: The best way to foster creativity in the digital age is to overhaul current copyright laws. The article starts out well, but then ends up suggesting that the fair bargain for short copyright terms is to give industry system-wide strong DRM. This is quite simply a non-starter, both practically and theoretically.
