She suggests copyright laws are incomprehensible and biased toward the copyright industry. She comments that copyright laws did not take into account computer programs, forcing computer designers to resolve problems through litigation.

She comments that a statute protecting the right to reproduce works in a computer's random access memory (RAM) should be passed. She suggests requiring renewals of copyright claims and that standards to determine if copyright infringement has occurred should be clarified. pubtype: Periodical doctype: Editorial src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y dt: @attributes: year: 2007 holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
