Abstract/Description:

The story of copyright policy in the United States is as much about faith and religion as it is about law and jurisprudence. Faced with potential changes to the status quo, major stakeholders retreat to their familiar positions, unwilling to waver for fear of ending up worse off than they are now. But recently, evolving business imperatives and a changing political climate have led to signs that the major players may be willing to soften their longstanding policy positions in favor of legislative progress.
