Rip, Mix, Burn: The Politics of Peer to Peer and Copyright Law
by Kathy Bowrey and Matthew Rimmer

Abstract

Whereas Lessig's recent work engages with questions of culture and
creativity in society, this paper looks at the role of culture and
creativity in the law. The paper evaluates the Napster, DeCSS, Felten
and Sklyarov litigation in terms of the new social, legal, economic
and cultural relations being produced. This involves a deep
discussion of law's economic relations, and the implications of this
for litigation strategy. The paper concludes with a critique of
recent attempts to define copyright law in terms of first amendment
rights and communicative freedom.
