Hello! While researching for a paper for another class I cam across an interesting article called “How Music Copyright Lawsuits are Scaring Away New Hits”. It discusses how the influx of copyright lawsuits in the music industry is stifling creativity and causing some artists and song writers to feel compelled to purchase insurance policies (costing a hefty $20,000 to $250,000) for protection from copyright suits. The author does a good job of highlighting the tension we’ve discussed in class: promoting the public interest in encouraging works vs obtaining a just reward for the creator. If you’re interested, I have linked the article here!
