• 2001, Harvard Law School – group of people meet (technologists,
creative people, lawyers) - “we should develop a legal tool that’s
as effective as the technology (the network)”
o technology in practice was immediate and 24/7; but legal
elements were still slow
o why don’t we create a voluntary mechanism for sharing
your own material – switch copyright on in advance; so
people know what they can do with content and what they
can’t

give permission in order to control downstream use.
“you can use my property so long as xyz”
• Copyright is the foundation stone for the whole discussion. If
