Cato Institute debuts series on "The Future of Copyright" - June 10, 2008

Cato Unbound is running a series of articles on "The Future of Copyright."

The opening installment in the series is by Rasmus Fleischer, a co-founder of Piratbyrån, a Swedish anti-copyright organization, and let me say that it's a terrific read. It's informative and thought-provoking.

Cato Unbound, part of the Cato Institute, presents an essay on a big-picture topic by one of "the world’s leading thinkers." The ideas are then tested by the comments and criticism of "equally eminent thinkers."
 
To comment on Fleischer's essay, Cato Unbound has invited Tim Lee, a freelance writer on technology issues and civil liberties and a frequent contributor to Techdirt, and Ars Technica as well as the Wall Street Journal and the Los Angeles Times; Professor Doug Lichtman, who teaches on law and technology at the University of California, Los Angeles, and who is co-author of Telecommunications Law and Policy, a textbook on the federal regulation of broadcast television, cable television, radio, telephony, and the Internet; Tom W. Bell, a law professor at Chapman University and author of the forthcoming book Intellectual Privilege: Copyright, Common Law, and the Common Good.
