A Year of Change in Digital Media

Today, the Berkman Center's Digital Media Project released a new report assessing how the digitization of music and movies has transformed not only businesses but copyright law and the idea of intellectual property. The report -- Copyright and Digital Media in a Post-Napster World -- updates a foundational whitepaper, released originally in 2003, to reflect major areas of change. In addition to new lawsuits and proposed legislation, one of the major developments since 2003 lies in international policy changes. The White Paper includes an International Supplement that offers an overview of the most fundamental shifts.
