What if copyright really isn't about copying at all? What happens to
the concept of copyright if you take the "copy" out of it? What you're
left with is particular forms of control over the distribution of
information. And, perhaps, a better way of understanding and
reconciling other forms of information law such as freedom of the
press and telecommunications regulation.Ernest Miller pursues research and writing on cyberlaw, intellectual property, and First Amendment issues. Mr. Miller attended the U.S.
Naval Academy before attending Yale Law School, where he was president
and co-founder of the Law and Technology Society, and founded the
technology law and policy news site LawMeme. He is a fellow of the
Information Society Project at Yale Law School. He posts to two
Corante blogs, "The Importance Of..." and "Copyfight". Currently, for
a change of pace, he is attending culinary school.
