[A2k] web: HOW MOVIE, MUSIC, AND CONTENT PRODUCERS CAN PROTECT COPYRIGHTS AND CAPTURE MORE REVENUE IN THE INTERNET AGE

[Sylvia Caras]

FindLaw columnist, attorney, and author Julie Hilden discusses some of
the questions that have arisen as online or Internet-coordinated
distribution has become possible in the "content industries" --
movies, music, and (to some extent) books. Hilden argues that the
traditional first-sale doctrine, which holds that only the first
purchaser in the chain pays the creator for content, needs to be
revised in the age of the Internet. She also considers ways in which
companies can better deter copyright infringement -- through business
choices and modification of the first-sale doctrine, not by suing
potential customers.
