Self-study
Copyright statutes benefit society by providing incentive to produce original works, so some kind of copyright statute is ultimately justified. ███ █████ ████████ ████ █████████ █ ███████████ ████ ██ ███████ ███████ ████ ██████ █████████ ███████████ ██ ████ ██████████ █████████ ████████ █████ █████████ ██████████ ███ ███ ████ ██ ███ ██████ ████ ███████ ████████ ████ ██ ███ █████ █████ ███ ████████ ███████ ████ ███ ██████████ █████ ██ █████████ ██ ████ ████ ██████ ██ ███ ████████ █████
Summarize Argument
The author concludes that copyright protection for the life of the author plus several decades is too long. This is because the societal benefit from the additional years of copyright is more than offset by the societal cost of creating monopolies in the copyrighted works. In other words, the societal cost of the additional years of protection outweighs the societal benefit.
Notable Assumptions
The author assumes that if the societal cost of additional years of copyright protection outweighs the societal benefit, this is something that makes those additional years of protection unjustified. The author also assumes that there aren’t non-societal benefits that could help justify the costs of additional years of copyright protection.
