Nies Lecture in Intellectual Property: Professor Jessica Litman

Description

Professor Jessica Litman addresses the prospects for reforming U.S. copyright law. Established industries and new players find the current copyright statute increasingly unworkable. The frequent calls for copyright reform, however, reveal fundamental disagreements about how copyright laws should operate. Professor Litman's work has chronicled a depressing history of copyright legislation, in which copyright lobbyists engaged in protracted negotiations with one another to arrive at copyright laws that enriched established copyright industries at the expense of both creators and the general public.
