Abstract: "Traditional copyright law strikes a delicate balance between an author's control of original material and society's interest in the free flow of ideas, information, and commerce. In today's digital networked environment, this balance has shifted dramatically to one side, as powerful rights holders contractually impose terms and conditions of use for beyond the bounds set by copyright law. This vitally significant book explores this conflict from its gestation through its current manifestations to its future lineaments and potential consequences."--BOOK JACKET.
