Copyright Reform proposals

Samuelson, Pamela, "Preliminary Thoughts on Copyright Reform" . Utah Law Review, 2007 Available at SSRN: http://ssrn.com/abstract=1002676

Pamela Samuelson, co-director of the Berkeley Center for Law and Technology, has authored an interesting paper on possible directions for copyright reform. With reform she proposes to fix current problems, such as that of orphan works which is very important for film makers and other creators. She also discusses the possibility of drafting a model copyright act which would have to face the issues of either being “US-centric” or more internationally neutral. She also has a podcast on "Open Source Development and Distribution of Digital Information."
