Will Good Legal Decisions Lead To Bad Laws?
from the probably dept
For every good legal decision concerning file sharing networks in the past week, it becomes increasingly likely that the entertainment industry will simply push for more bad laws to get around these judges who dare to understand the law and the reason why they make sense. Of course, as powerful as the entertainment industry lobby is, I'm hopeful that any attempt to make changes to various intellectual property laws will at least open up the debate - and potentially get the laws changed in the other direction, promoting openness and collaboration, rather than artificial monopolies and systems that hinder innovation and creativity.
