Nice little Times article on the Copyright laws

Posted by Ampersand | January 28th, 2004

The New York Times Magazine has an okay article summing up the current conflict over copyright. There’s nothing new here for folks who have been following the issue, but if you’re unfamiliar with the issue the article will provide a decent introduction.

One thing that struck me about the article, though, is who is quoted. Record company executives are quoted. Law professors are quoted. What’s missing, though, are quotes from artists on either side of this issue - although both sides make it clear that they are fighting for artists’ best interests.
