The public is getting increasingly irritated with Big Music’s attempts to tighten copyright. EMI’s recent move against Danger Mouse and the Grey Album “was a spectacular backfire in the war over what’s fair when the muse runs afoul of copyright law in the Digital Age. Technology is making it easier than ever to sample and rework recordings, and to the chagrin of entertainment companies and some artists who hold copyrights, the public is showing little sympathy for their efforts to control original works.”
