Modernizing the Copyright Office

Posted by samzenpus on from the to-the-future dept.

An anonymous reader writes: Joshua Simmons has written a new article discussing the growing consensus that it is time to modernize the Copyright Office. It reviews the developments that led to the last major revision of the Copyright Act; discusses Congress's focus since 1976 on narrower copyright bills, rather than a wholesale revision of U.S. copyright law, and the developments that have led to the review hearings; and considers the growing focus on Copyright Office modernization.

    If someone could explain what "creative professionals" actually do to come by the stuff they churn out, then maybe non"creative professionals" would care about it.

    Also, what is this "hard work" you speak of? Maybe you should switch to some work you find easier to do, and let people who find the type of work you are doing now easy, take over.
