Framing the Copyright Debate

摘要

The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) Online published an e-mail debate between Fritz Attaway and Wendy Seltzer about digital rights management (DRM). Attaway is a senior executive with the Motion Picture Association of America, while Seltzer is a Fellow at Harvard Law School's Berkman Center for Internet & Society. The article ("Reply All: 'DRM'Protects Downloads, But Does It Stifle Innovation?" June 20, 2006) was interesting, not only because DRM hits the intersection of business, law, and technology, but also because it is a perfect example of how copyright debates get framed.
