See   http://www.themestream.com/articles/115137.html

For a paper that looks at the philosophical and legal history of
copyright law in the United States as well as its recent application to
the entertainment industry during the 80s and 90s.

In the NAPSTER age these issues must be considered.

The paper also explores the difference between conservative US copyright
laws and relatively liberal Japanese laws.  If copyright is designed to
'promote the useful arts and science' as suggested in the US
Constitution, why is it that enforcement of US copyright law arguably
diminishes creative production (i.e., consider how sampling in rap was
stifled) while Japan is the greatest pop culture exporter in Asia --
despite liberal copyright law?

The paper looks at history, the constitution, rap, video, home taping,
Japanese and US numbers, etc. to argue that copyright law in the US
needs to be liberalized.
