This site is devoted to copyright and issues of 'intellectual property,' particularly the issue's analytical aspects. It also concerns itself with the gap between public perception and the true facts, and with the significant lag time between the coverage on more technical sites and the mainstream press.

Music industry heads into cell-phone ringtones directly.

Another typical example of poor use of data: more than 50% drop in copyright citations in the dorms at UC Davis, which must mean that there is 50% less downloading, surely. Here's one statistic you might bet on: the likelihood of there being only 94 students downloading in a school with 19,000 undergradutes is 0%.

Lucas once again shows that he produced nothing of value after the 1980's, and copyright law allows him to try to toss a great cultural work into the dustbin of history in its original form. Fortunlately, Kazaa et. al allow for substantial, infringing use.

Substantial noninfringing use--a new economic system?
