I had a brush with copyright issues at work on Saturday and I've been thinking about it the past few days. The irony, however, is that the first article I pulled out to read for class tonight is on copyright issues in the academic library.
I have very strong opinions regarding this issue, my blog of old would probably represent that more than this one (back in the Napster vs. RIAA days), but I don't really care to go into it right now. It is a great issue to think about, especially in regards to intellectual property and downloading music. One of my favorite recent books on the subject is:
The Future of Music : Manifesto for the Digital Music Revolution
I didn't have time to finish the book but I did make it more than halfway through, it's an excellent book on the subject. I will pick it up again soon, I hope.
