Interview with Tim Wu

In Corante’s The Future of Digital Media, Ernest Miller interviews U.Va. lawprof Tim Wu
On Copyright: “Today’s copyright law problem is structural. The law does too much to serve the interests of disseminators—the film industry, recording industry, and publishers—often at the expense of both authorship and consumer welfare. In historical terms, we’ve gone backward: I think we’re closer to where Copyright law was in 1700, when copyrights were all vested in book publishers, than it was in 1900, when authors still sometimes won fights with their publishers.”
Telecom: “The FCC has become like that guy at the office who spends all his time surfing the web instead of doing what he promised to do.”
