Fair Use and the Fairer Sex: Gender, Feminism, and Copyright Law

posted by:Ian Kerr // 04:06 PM // May 16, 2006 // Digital Democracy: law, policy and politics

some of you will be interested in a new piece by one of my fave US cyberprofs, ann bartow.

in it, she argues that the copyright infrastructure plays a role, largely unexamined by legal scholars, in helping to sustain the material and economic inequality between women and men. she also advocates low levels of copyright protections.

if you lke the piece, you should also check out her excellent blog
