It?s fascinating to watch how the industrial age is slow creeping into the services age.
The laws on copyright went through a massive change in the 1970?s. The change was simple, but dramatic:
Before copyright change: As a service employee (contractor), you gave up all intellectual writes to the person that contracted your services.
After copyright change: As a service employee (contractor), you maintained all intellectual writes to your services, unless other wise expressly written.
The video age:
The Supreme Court has already ruled, a person is allowed to video tape anything played over the public airways, and use it for their personal (non-commercial) use. NFL lost that battle.
The age of the Internet:
Biz and society will have to take on a new reality as we continue to adapt. Soon, a music company will not be able to charge $19 for an album with only 1 good song. Musicians will not be worth $100 Million dollars. But, are we going to fast for people to adapt? Instead of culture shock, will we have Future Shock?
