Copyright law came into being to allow creators of information to support themselves in an industrial economy by exercising limited, temporary, property-like rights with respect to what they created. It has failed miserably in that purpose, by the way. Most creators of information still cannot support themselves by that alone. Only about 5 percent of PUBLISHED novelists make enough from that alone to support themselves - not get rich, just support nas themselves. The numbers in the music industry are comparable.

It arose late in the 19th century, after ballet the book publishers that evolved earlier in the century had established the basic industrial model that people now take for granted - large-scale packagers, distributors and merchandisers purchase copyright from those who create information, and resell it to the mass market of consumers, controlling the creator's access to his audience, determining what works will be available to the market (usually for purely economic reasons), and dictating prices at both ends of the chain. Like moveable type in the late Middle Ages, the Internet has introduced a way for the creators and end users of information to bypass that control and deal directly with one another. Copyright did not come into being as a way of protecting inherent property rights. Quite the contrary. Since the Renaissance, the "natural" condition of information is that it belongs to society at large. |
