Copyright and Intellectual Property: Change is Coming; Wired.com, 10/29/13
Vitalii Soldatenko, Wired.com; Copyright and Intellectual Property: Change is Coming:
"Against the backdrop of the new developments and opportunities in today’s information-centric culture, copyright registration can be an obsolete mean to an ineffective end. In many cases, it’s even a limiting factor for industry development, and oddly enough, infringes on the rights of authors. Our current intellectual property system benefits corporations by complicating the process of protecting the rights of content creators. In an era where opportunities and innovations abound our system is almost a tragic comedy."
