Fair Use and Art in the Internet Age
http://j.mp/tfzkwN (New York Times)
"But if the case has had any effect so far, it has been to drag into
the public arena a fundamental truth hovering somewhere just outside
the legal debate: that today's flow of creative expression, riding a
tide of billions of instantly accessible digital images and clips, is
rapidly becoming so free and recycling so reflexive that it is hard to
imagine it being slowed, much less stanched, whatever happens in
court. It is a phenomenon that makes Mr. Prince's artful thefts -
those collages in the law firm's office - look almost Victorian by
comparison, and makes the copyright battle and its attendant fears
feel as if they are playing out in another era as well, perhaps not
Victorian but certainly pre-Internet."
