You might have to go back to Johannes Gutenberg's printing press to
find a publishing technology as disruptive. The Internet can reproduce
content and distribute it almost anywhere at nearly light speed. Call
it the perfect copying machine - with an out tray to everyone.

that may go a long way toward deciding what rights creators have. The
issue isn't clear cut.

Protect the creators too much and it may inhibit technological progress
and chill artistic expression, some argue. Others say the technology
