Abstract

The advent of new technologies, such as the digitization of music and Internet networking, has greatly expanded the ease with which copyright infringement can occur. These new technologies have made it possible for the average computer user to bypass copyright laws effortlessly and without detection, at a substantial cost for legitimate copyright holders. It will be argued in this article that stronger domestic legislation is needed in order to adequately protect copyright owners from widespread infringement.
