Copyright books

[troyj at creighton.edu]

With all the discussion about copyright there are two books on the subject that 
I would highly recommend for librarians to read.


The Future of Ideas: The Fate of the Commons in a Connected World
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0375726446/bibliofuture


Copyrights and Copywrongs: The Rise of Intellectual Property and How It 
Threatens Creativity
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0814788068/bibliofuture


I do not think that copyright needs to be strengthened. I would be interested 
to hear a scenario that someone considers a problem that is not covered by the 
current law. I think they are many cases where enforcement is lax but I do see 
it as a weakness of the law. Critical comments welcome. Also if you have not 
read the books listed above you really should if you are a librarian.
