Description: This thesis concerns creativity. I discuss the purposes of copyright laws. I trace how copyright law has expanded since its initial statutory embodiment. I outline how creativity has been taken out of the hands of creators and, through laws, placed into the hands of copyright holders. I discuss how creators create. I illustrate how laws, and the interpretation of those laws, have impacted on how work is created and, more to the point, how work is not allowed to be created. I explain how copyright is used as a means of securing compensation in additional areas. I propose a system of creation, protection and compensation for work that places creativity back into the hands of creators while providing compensation to all parties.
