Overview: To the extent that copyright law applies to the conduct of ordinary persons, its incomprehensibility presents serious difficulties. Moreover, to the extent that copyright law makes illegal many ordinary activities of individuals?for example, making private copies of music for oneself or to share with a friend or forwarding articles to friends via the Internet?it has become unfair as well. As the public's copyright lawyer, Jessica Litman advises not to accept the current deal. In Digital Copyright, she outlines a framework for a copyright law that would be a new and better deal for the public and would be short, comprehensible, and normative in character.
