	Standards As Intellectual Property: An Economic Approach
		Copyright is given easily, without any substantial requirements analogous to the requirements of non-obviousness and utility in patent law, and provides a long period of protection.
		Patent law should be, and is, much more grudging in permitting the creators of ideas to establish rights to them, and much less generous in the length of time for which protection is provided, than is copyright law.
		Copyright law attempts to prevent that from happening through the doctrine of merger, under which protection is severely restricted when it threatens to block the only way, or one of a small number of possible ways, of expressing a particular idea.

		Copyright law does not restrict anyone from reselling legitimately obtained copies of copyrighted works, provided that those copies were originally produced by or with the permission of the copyright holder.
		Other copyright scholars believe that irrespective of contemporary advances in technology, copyright remains the fundamental way by which authors, sculptors, artists, musicians and others can fund the creation of new works, and that absent legal protection of their material interests, many valuable books and pieces of art would not be created.
		Copyright concepts are perceived to be under challenge in the modern technological era, from the increasing use of peer to peer filesharing, to the downward trend in profits for major record labels and the movie industry.

	EFF: What Peer-to-Peer Developers Need to Know about Copyright Law
		Copyright law applies to virtually every form of expression that can be captured (or, to use the copyright term of art, "fixed") in a tangible medium, such as on paper, film, magnetic tape, hard drive, optical media, or (arguably) in RAM.
		Copyright owners have also argued that digital transmissions can qualify as a distribution, and possibly a public performance (in the world of copyright law, "public performance" may include the act of transmitting a copyrighted work).
		The law of contributory infringement therefore presents a developer with a binary choice: you can either include mechanisms that enable monitoring and control of user activities (and use them to stop allegedly infringing activity when you receive complaints), or choose a truly decentralized architecture wherein such monitoring and control is impossible without extensive redesign.
