The "Strong Copyright + DRM + Weak Net Neutrality =
Digital
Dystopia?" postprint is now available.
The abstract is below:
Three critical issues—-dramatic expansion of the scope,
duration, and punitive nature of copyright laws; the ability
of Digital Rights Management (DRM) systems to lock-down
digital content in an unprecedented fashion; and the erosion
of Net neutrality, which ensures that all Internet traffic
is treated equally—-are examined in detail and their
potential impact on libraries is assessed. How legislatures,
the courts, and the commercial marketplace treat these
issues will strongly influence the future of digital
information for good or ill.
