The old ways of copyright protection – for instance, sending legal notice to the offender – have lost meaning in the internet era. Easy duplication of files and anonymity online has made it necessary that copyright protection is enforced as a innovative and preventive measure, rather than a post-facto remedial one.
There are some interesting suggestions being made, which can be actioned quite easily by music companies, publishers, etc to enforce copyright protection. But this still does not solve the problem of the cost and effort of policing copyright violation of work produced by individuals – any thoughts on targeted copyright enforcement and what it means to you?
