MIGHT ELECTRONIC MUSIC—A MAJOR FORCE BEHIND CHANGES IN ACOUSTIC TECHNOLOGY, COPYRIGHT LAW, HUMAN-MACHINE INTERface, artistic production, marketing and consumption practices, and global connectivity—help us think about the dizzying proliferation of today's written forms and how we talk about them? It can certainly offer new models and a rich vocabulary for speaking about such things as labeling, canon, and the relationship between author and audience. As “text” continues to bloat, shrink, scatter, and blur, thanks in part to the same digital tools used by contemporary e-music, perhaps looking at how this sound swarm is dealing with its identity will be useful to those who read, write, and write about literature. The essay that follows invites literary scholars to “listen awry” to a wildly polyvalent, indeterminate musical complex that simultaneously lobbies for, rejects, and eludes categorization.

This chapter discusses the current state of copyright law with respect to works contained on different media. It traces the history and purpose of the law, while focusing on how digital technology has shaped its evolution. It describes how recent legislation and court cases have created a patchwork of law whose protection often varies depending upon the medium on which the work lies. The author questions whether some of the recent legislation has lost sight of the main purpose behind the copyright law, the promotion of learning and public knowledge.

The development of social networking, Web 2.0, and virtual worlds has opened new avenues for online collaborative communication. For learners in this digital age, there is a need to devise new models and metaphors to examine the learner and teacher interactions with technologies and for models which can help in designing effective and innovative learning interventions. In this chapter we examine some models and discuss how learners can be guided to become engaged in self-discovery learning.

This article questions the author-centred conceptualization of copyright's subject matter in defining the scope of protection. It focuses on films, the medium's communicative nature, and user interactions with films in the digital age. The analysis starts with Kant's definition of a book as a ‘public speech’ and adapts it to films. The article states that the publicness of the medium comes with user expectations. It states that, in many cases, the audience's interaction with films starts with the expectation of a further communication through the work. The article then explores the intercommunication of the audience, its transformation in the digital age, and its role in shaping our cultural landscape. The conclusion is that, in order to answer the demands of the new habits of communications, new ways of research, and any novelty that comes with future technologies, copyright law needs to acknowledge the participatory nature of user interactions with cultural works and how those interactions shape our culture.

AbstractThe emergence of the information society and the digital age have radically disturbed the balance contained in copyright law. Aware of the dangers for the exploitation of their rights created by new technical opportunities, right holders have constantly challenged the free zones within copyright. Especially the private copy exception seems to be particularlymenaced by the implementation of anti-copying measures (which are themselves protected by law) as well as by the three-step test, which seems to become a real judicial filter for the application of any exception in the digital environment. In reaction to this evolution, a real mobilization of the consumers wanting to enforce their “right of private copying” can be observed. This article analyzes whether there is such a right of the user and - if it is so - on which legal grounds. In a more general sense, it proposes a reflection on the future of the private copy exception in the digital world.
