"Technologies don’t infringe copyright; people do."
John Palfrey, executive director of Harvard Law School’s Berkman Center for Internet & Society, makes some excellent points about copyright law’s application to the digital age in this Boston Globe editorial.
"Rather than fight the emerging technologies, we’d be better served to find new ways to embrace them."
"We should figure out how to offer legitimate services that enable people to be accountable to one another online, using innovations like Creative Commons licenses, which make sharing legitimately much easier."
"We have options for resolving the digital media crisis. … Let’s focus on giving people ways to enjoy digital entertainment and on becoming a more creative culture, not on shutting down innovation."
