edenfalling: stylized black-and-white line art of a sunset over water (question marks)
[personal profile] edenfalling
Here is an interesting article on copyright laws, violations thereof, and reactions to said violations. It's part of a series on unenforced American laws, and how non-enforcement is actually a vital and dynamic part of our legal system.

There's an article in this month's Wired magazine that makes a similar point with regard to Japan's doujinshi industry. Cultural sychronicity at work? (I would link to the article, but Google has failed me. *pout* You should go look at the magazine anyway -- it also has an interesting 10-page spread on the history of manga in the US, done as a vaguely shojo manga. The page layout's a little awkward/unclear in places, but it's info, not a story, so it's not too much of a problem.)
